Northmere Bank's DKIM key compromise: the stolen selector bw2019, a seven-year-old 1024-bit key shared by the marketing, transactional and support streams, letting 51,200 forged messages a day pass DKIM while the platform claimed 99.6% and measured aligned pass was 95.1%; the DMARC ladder the bank climbs from p=none through quarantine at 25% and 100% to reject on all 51 domains as forged mail falls to 330 a day of lookalikes; and the trust meter rising from 95.1% to 99.7% against the Board's 99.5% target, inbox placement from 88.6% to 99.1%, for the Board defence on 9 June 2027.

DKIM Signing Key Compromise Response

A forty-hour Pro-level email-authentication crisis simulation run on a live DKIM crisis command board, where you are Head of Messaging Security at a UK bank with 6.8 million customers; a former marketing vendor's breach exposes a seven-year-old, 1024-bit signing key shared by three streams, and forged mail passes DKIM and DMARC as the bank — and you revoke without breaking passcodes, find every key and every sender, enforce DMARC to reject, make customers whole, meet the mailbox providers' rules, build detection and custody, price the programme at the margin and defend it to the Board.

What you'll learn

  • Lead a signing-key compromise: establish what signatures still prove, set a revocation clock that re-keys critical streams first, and hold the cut-over when surprises arrive.
  • Build and govern the signing estate — inventory, key segregation and custody, length and rotation standards, delegated signing and third-party senders — so no key is shared, moved or unowned.
  • Enforce DMARC to reject through gated steps, protect and inform customers, meet mailbox-provider requirements by placement, and detect the next compromise from the organisation's own reports.
  • Price the programme at the margin, answer insurers and auditors precisely, set appetite and accept residuals explicitly, and win a resolution the Board can be held to.
