Spam may seem more annoying than dangerous, but it is wise to treat spam with caution. As email filters become more stringent, spam also becomes more inventive. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many spam emails are tied to phishing attempts, which just means that the email tries to get sensitive information out of you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this article, we will go over:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is Email Spoofing?\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Types of Phishing<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to Identify Spam<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Steps Towards Protection<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>What is Email Spoofing?<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Email spoofing refers to when a hacker tries to disguise a malicious email as one from a legitimate source. The scammer can spoof an email a variety of ways. Some popular ways are:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Creating an email address that is <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">almost<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> identical to a legitimate address<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Forging the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> address to look like a legitimate sender<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Forging the display name, but does not change the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> address<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spoofing may not seem problematic initially. However, hackers may use the spoofed emails as a way to trick you into sharing sensitive information. When paired with \"phishing\" schemes or social engineering, spoofed emails can become a real problem, especially for those who aren't on the lookout for them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Types of Phishing<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are a variety of phishing tactics that can be used to lure people to divulge personal information, some of which we will cover below.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h5>Phishing Links<\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One common method is to use phishing links. The spoofed message will create a reason for the recipient to visit the link in the email, such as, \"You need to update your information for payment to go through.\" Then they will supply a link that will take the recipient to a website that <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">looks<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> legitimate, but is actually designed to take your information and funnel it back to the hacker.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To someone who has just been told that they need to \"update their information\" or \"input an updated routing number,\" it can be easy to overlook small inconsistencies in their effort to rectify whatever problem the phishing email has told them they have.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h5>Fake Attachments<\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hackers may also use fake attachments to get around stricter email filters. These fake attachments can contain a phishing link to a faked website, though some may also contain ransomware.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ransomware is a software that takes away your access to your computer until you pay a sum of money to the hacker. When hidden in a fake attachment, the ransomware lies dormant until the recipient tries to open the attachment. When the attachment is opened however, the ransomware will begin to download to the computer. Once downloaded, the ransomware could take the computer hostage, essentially locking out the user until they pay the hacker for its release. You can read more about ransomware in our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pair.com\/support\/kb\/ransomware\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ransomware article<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5>Spearphishing<\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spearphishing can be particularly dangerous and hard to detect. The name refers to a targeted attack; (a spear, if you will) that uses information about the recipient against them. The hacker will gather research about the recipient or organization (whether through research or by hacking), then create a message tailored to the recipient. It could be spoofed to appear like it comes from a coworker or boss, or may reference an ongoing project.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While this type of social-engineering phishing is not as common as the other two versions, spearphishing can be much more dangerous. Because it's designed to get the recipient to drop their guard, it can be hard to detect.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>How to Identify Spam<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, all is not lost. Here are some ways to help pick spam out from the legitimate emails.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check for typos or strange phrasing. This can be indicative of a spam email.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check for strange or unfamiliar links. Do <b>not<\/b> click on strange links<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7650 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pair.com\/support\/kb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/spam-example-2.jpg\" alt=\"spam example 1\" width=\"767\" height=\"278\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pair.com\/support\/kb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/spam-example-2.jpg 767w, https:\/\/www.pair.com\/support\/kb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/spam-example-2-300x109.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pair.com\/support\/kb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/spam-example-2-50x18.jpg 50w, https:\/\/www.pair.com\/support\/kb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/spam-example-2-60x22.jpg 60w, https:\/\/www.pair.com\/support\/kb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/spam-example-2-100x36.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 100vw, 767px\" \/><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check for context. Did your boss or colleague say that they would be sharing an attachment or link with you? If you're getting a bad feeling about the email, get in touch with them (though we recommend using an alternate communication method. Don't reply to the shady email!)<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be wary of emails asking for personal information. A legitimate business or government organization (like the IRS) will <b>not<\/b> ask for information like credit card numbers, social security numbers, or passwords over email.\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_7651\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7651\" style=\"width: 765px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pair.com\/support\/kb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/spam-example-1-w-highlights.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-0\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-7651 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pair.com\/support\/kb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/spam-example-1-w-highlights.jpg\" alt=\"spam example 2 image\" width=\"765\" height=\"607\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pair.com\/support\/kb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/spam-example-1-w-highlights.jpg 765w, https:\/\/www.pair.com\/support\/kb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/spam-example-1-w-highlights-300x238.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pair.com\/support\/kb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/spam-example-1-w-highlights-50x40.jpg 50w, https:\/\/www.pair.com\/support\/kb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/spam-example-1-w-highlights-60x48.jpg 60w, https:\/\/www.pair.com\/support\/kb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/spam-example-1-w-highlights-100x79.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 765px) 100vw, 765px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7651\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">This spam message claims that the recipient is receiving $18 million - they only need to send them some personal information.\u00a0 Notice that the sender spoofed an \"admin@mcafee.com\" address to seem more legitimate.
