Apart from malware, email spam can also be
classified as a viable threat to data security.
While on the surface they seem like harmless
messages piling up in the junk folder of our
emails, each message potentially carries
hazardous malware.
These harmful or intrusive spyware can be installed on our computer systems simply by clicking on the links given in the emails. This, in turn, leads to the possible threat of data and misuse of personal information. As a result, individuals need to be wary of email spam and delete these such messages as soon as they receive them.
