Malicious email is, simply put, email with a malicious purpose. The malicious purpose could be fraud, theft, espionage, or malware injection. The processes by which email execute the malicious activity vary widely, from fully manual (e.g. human-directed) to fully automated. One example of a malicious email is one that contains an attachment which the recipient is directed to open. When the attachment is opened, malicious software is installed on the recipient’s computer. Because malicious email can vary so broadly in form and function, automated detection is only marginally helpful. The education of all users to detect potential malicious email is important to containing the threat and limiting the damage. It is increasingly necessary for all email users to understand how to recognize and combat malicious email. Detecting and Combating Malicious Email describes the different types of malicious email, shows how to differentiate malicious email from benign email, and suggest protective strategies for both personal and enterprise email environments. Discusses how and why malicious e-mail is used Explains how to find hidden viruses in e-mails Provides hands-on concrete steps to detect and stop malicious e-mail before it is too late Covers what you need to do if a malicious e-mail slips through

This is a book about SPAM, e-SCAMs and how to be safe from them. Here is a book written in a simple style and straight forward language to suit every reader irrespective of his/her background. Plenty of information is already available on 'what' ranging from advisories to blogs to actual, published works. There are commercial products offering varying degrees of security too. However, the efficacy of those solutions depends on the 'awareness' of the user concerned, because you have to take the call ultimately on what is a real deal and what is a potentially fraudulent product or service. This book also attempts to provide the 'why' and 'how'. With over 30 illustrated examples, this book prepares readers to recognise patterns of fraud and thereby helps them not to fall victim to such schemes. Readers will also find some simple yet practical suggestions on fortifying their information environment easily too.

IF YOU ARE YET TO GET THIS GUIDE YOU MAY BE SLEEPING ON A FAST MOVING BICYCLE!The spam industry also adapted the available Internet technology to make the "spambot". A spambot is an automatic program that will roam the web, "harvesting" email addresses from newsgroup postings and from other websites. It literally gathers thousands of email addresses during a single hour. These are compiled into bulk mailing lists with which the spammers can mail thousands of victims at a time.The practise of sending out unsolicited, unwanted junk email and junk postings came to be called "spam." The term is usually believed to possess been derived from a British comedy skit by Monty Python, during which a restaurant serves each meal with a side of spam. As a waitress emphasizes to a few the supply of spam with every dish, a gaggle of Viking patrons escape in song, singing "SPAM, SPAM, and SPAM... lovely SPAM!" in a loud chorus. In the '80s, the term was adopted to ask the junk emails and postings, and therefore the name stuck.The earliest, most generally known incident of economic spamming dates back to 1994. It involved two lawyers who spammed USENET to advertise their services as immigration lawyers. They later expanded their marketing efforts to incorporate email spam. The incident is usually mentioned because of the "Green Card Spam."This nefarious industry has since grown in leaps and bounds. Today, quite half the trillion-plus emails that are sent and received are spam. Initially, spam was generally advertising-related email. In additional recent years, however, a very nasty crop of spammers has emerged, who send their spam with nothing but malicious and/or criminal intent. Some send spam that contains viruses or malicious code. Others devise scams intended to defraud you of your money. Then there are those whose focus is a fraud. Benign or malicious, commercial or criminal - spam has transformed the way we communicate electronically, and can still do so well into the near future and really likely beyond. Spam has become a daily, albeit unwanted, fact of online life.

This is the first book of its kind to document the detailed application of forensic analysis techniques to the field of e-mail security. Both investigative and preventative techniques are described but the focus is on prevention. The world has been subjected to an increasing wave of spam and more recently, scamming and phishing attacks in the last twenty years. Such attacks now include industrial espionage and government-sponsored spying. The volume and sophistication of such attacks has rendered existing technologies only partially effective leaving the end-user vulnerable and the number of successful attacks is increasing. The seeds of this book were sown three years ago when the author, a Professor of Forensic Software Engineering, was trying to recover his 20 year-old e-mail address from the clutches of spammers who had rendered it almost unusable with more than 140,000 junk messages a day. It got to the point where he was invited by his ISP to either change it or take it elsewhere. Instead he decided to find out how to prevent the deluge, acquired his own servers and began researching. The book is a mixture of analysis, experiment and implementation in almost equal proportions with detailed description of the defence in depth necessary to turn the tidal wave of junk aside leaving only what the end user wants to see - no more and no less. It covers: - 1. The rise of e-mail 2. How it all works 3. Scams, spam and other abuse 4. Protection: the principles of filtering 5. Going deeper: setting up a mail server 6. Advanced content filtering 7. The bottom line - how well can we do ? 8. Where is all this going ? There is something here for everyone. Chapters 1-4 are suitable for the general reader who just wants to understand how spammers and scammers work and find out a little more about the many forms of attack. Chapters 5 and 6 are highly technical and suitable for both e-mail administrators and theoreticians and include a discussion of the latest computational and mathematical techniques for detecting textual patterns. Chapter 7 presents the results of applying the techniques in this book on the several million junk messages the author's servers received over a 10 month period. Chapter 8 tries to see into the future a little to predict how the arms race between the attackers and defenders might go. Finally, those interested in governance will find discussions of the dangers of release of e-mail addresses under Freedom of Information Requests. The book contains many illustrations of attacks and is supported by numerous code examples in Perl and C. Perfection is impossible, but if you follow the advice in this book, you can build mail systems which provably make no more than 5 mistakes per million messages received, very close to the definitive manufacturing standard of six sigma. The threat from viruses effectively disappears and the e-mail user is secured from toxic content.

Seminar paper from the year 2006 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: keine, LMU Munich (Department für Anglistik und Amerikanistik), course: Internet Communication, language: English, abstract: The communication by email has become one of the most important means of communication in cooperate and private. An internet user is constantly confronted by mass emails containing undesired information. Spam, defined as bulk unsolicited emailing, generally commercial in nature, and predominately fraudulent. Spam causes high charges and damages. Nucleus Research announced that the spam epidemic is costing US businesses $712 per employee each year in lost worker productivity. As a result, users are spending 16 seconds identifying and deleting each spam e-mail, which translates into an annual cost of $70 bln to all US businesses. Looking at the total e-mail traffic, Nucleus estimates that at least 90% of e-mail reaching corporate servers is spam. The average user receives 21 spam messages to their inbox each day. (Moskalyuk 2007) Regardless of the inefficient time spent, there are further costs caused by spam, such as (cf Filterpoint 2008): · Deleted emails remain stored in the trash folder. · Higher storage costs through higher server expenses. · Higher bandwith essential to store the spam mails. · Time spent by IT staff for anti-spam measures. · Recovery costs after a virus attack. Various experts provide a spam calculator that enables to determine the approximate annual costs for an enterprise created by spam. (Gibbs 2003, Commtouch 2007) The calculator introduced by Gibbs differentiates productivity, connectivity, storage and support costs. This Spam Cost Analysis Model can be found in appendix 1 of this work. In this work different types of spam in general and in specific will be pointed out and characterized. Measures against unsolicited emails will be reviewed. First I start with the definition of spam and where it comes from, followed with the spam history. Then I briefly list the most common categories and variants of spam used. The next step will be the revision of a present situation captured by Commtouch and Symantec, as well as statistics on the information learned through spam monitoring during the last few months, with the examples of its usage. I conclude with an overview of spam solutions offered and point out further research topics in the area.
