Mr. Post is an Outlook add-in used for inspecting emails for threats. Its
tagline states "One click to visualize email. Unveil scam, phishing, ransom and
BEC (Business Email Compromise)." The add-in is featured prominently in the
Outlook Add-in store, including those on iOS and Android. It’s possible that
users in your org use this add-in. You can find it in Microsoft AppSource here:

## Unsupported Add-In
The add-in no longer appears to be supported as clicking the Mr. Post button
opens a parked domain inside of Outlook, mr2020[.]tech. This domain is listed
for sale for $899 USD.
## Data Theft Risk
I have not used this add-in before the domain was parked, but I assume that
clicking the Mr. Post button sends the currently open email to the parked
domain. There is a significant risk that a threat actor will acquire this
domain and collect user’s emails when they click the Mr. Post button.
Presumably, the add-in only has access to emails which are open when the Mr.
Post button is clicked, but Microsoft states that the add-in has access to
"read or modify the contents of any item in your mailbox, and create new items.
It can access personal information -- such as the body, subject, sender,
recipients, or attachments -- in any message or calendar item."
## Suggested Mitigations
* Make sure this add-in is not installed in for any users in your
organization, and (if possible) block it so it cannot be installed.
* Report the add-in to Microsoft. I reported it a week ago, but it is still
online and installable.
