Partial listing of dangerous emails




 


       
 
 
 
 
 
As the use of email has exponentially grown, the amount of dangerous emails has kept pace. Although most email users have learned how to be more discerning in recognizing many of them, the hazardous emails have also grown in sophistication. Additionally new or younger email users still need to be well educated and informed. Companies also should have well defined policies to assist and keep employees and guests from opening or responding to any potentially damaging message. The following categories represent common themes for email spammers and should be ignored:
