What types of email threats are covered by managed email security services?
1. Spam
Spam emails are unsolicited messages that are sent to a large number of recipients with the intention of promoting a product or service.
These emails are usually sent in bulk and can include offers for products or services, fake job offers, etc. The term "spam" is derived from the famous Monty Python sketch in which the word is repeated ad nauseam, reflecting the annoyance and repetitiveness of these types of emails. Spam emails are generally considered to be a nuisance.
2 .Spear-phishing
These are targeted phishing attacks that are customized for a specific individual or group of individuals.
The attacker first conducts research on the target to gather information about the individual or organization, such as their name, job title, and email address.
Spear-phishing attacks can be extremely effective because they are highly targeted and personalized, making it more difficult for the victim to detect that the email is fraudulent.
3 .Malware
Malware is software that is designed to cause harm to a computer system. These type of threats can be executed via email through a variety of methods, including:
-Email attachments: Cybercriminals may use a file type that is commonly used, such as a Word document or a PDF, and hide the malware inside the attachment.
-Links to malicious websites: Cybercriminals can also include links to malicious websites in emails. When a victim clicks on the link, they are redirected to the website, which can then download malware onto their computer.
4. Spoofing
Impersonating a legitimate sender in order to trick the recipient into opening an email is a common method that cybercriminals can use to execute email spoofing attacks:
-SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) spoofing: Cybercriminals use a fake SMTP server to send an email message with a forged "From" address. This technique is often used to bypass spam filters.
-IP spoofing: The email appears like it’s coming from a legitimate source by changing the IP address of the sender in the email header.
-Domain: A domain name that is similar to a legitimate domain name is used to make it appear that the email is coming from a legitimate source. For example, they might use "microsoft-support.com" instead of "microsoft.com".
5. Email bombs
This is a type of DoS (denial of service) attack where an attacker sends a large number of emails to overwhelm the recipient's email server.
In the past when there were no sophisticated tools, the attackers would manually send a large number of emails to the target's email address using multiple email accounts. Modern email bombs are executed through a script or tool that automates the sending of a large number of emails. The automation means that the attackers can successfully send a massive number of emails in a short period of time.
6. Man-in-the-middle
An attacker intercepting communications between two parties to steal information.
The attacker first gains access to the victim's email account or email server. They may do this by exploiting vulnerabilities in the email software, stealing login credentials through phishing attacks, or using other tactics.
Once the attacker has gained access, they will then intercept email messages being sent between the victim and their intended recipient. This can be done by redirecting the email traffic through a server controlled by the attacker or by using other techniques to intercept the messages in transit.
With access to the email messages, the attacker can then modify or read the contents of the email messages, including sensitive information such as login credentials, financial data, or personal information. The attacker can also use this access to carry out further attacks, such as phishing attacks or malware distribution, to compromise additional systems or steal more data.
7. Ransomware
Ransomware is a type of malware that encrypts data on a victim's computer or network and demands payment in exchange for the decryption key.
The email may be designed to look legitimate and may often be disguised as a message from a trusted source or an important organization.
The malicious attachment or link in the email will typically contain code that, when executed, encrypts the victim's files and demands a ransom payment in exchange for the decryption key. Once the files are encrypted, the victim is unable to access them, and they may be permanently lost if the ransom is not paid.
8. Zero-day attacks
Zero-day attacks exploit vulnerabilities in software before a patch or update is available.
The attackers create a new and previously unknown vulnerability or exploit in an email client or application, and then craft an email containing an attachment or link that takes advantage of this vulnerability.
When a user clicks on the attachment or link, the exploit is triggered, and the attacker gains unauthorized access to the user's system or data. The attacker can then carry out various malicious activities such as stealing sensitive information, installing malware, or taking control of the user's system.
Zero-day attacks are particularly dangerous because they are often not detected by traditional email security solutions that rely on known signatures or patterns of attack.
