There are a number of different email security threats that could attack your system. Here are some of the most common ones:
- Baiting – Baiting is one of the oldest forms of malicious email program and social engineering, as it hides a potentially malicious program as something that the user would be naturally interested in.
- Pretexting – This is used to get privileged information such as login and authentication data. A malicious user may contact an employee and state that they need specific information to complete a task.
- Phishing – This involves extremely legitimate looking emails, such as emails from a local bank or organization. An email may appear to be from Google or another trustworthy company and will often request that the user click on a link in order to log in and update their information.
