Ahead of The Latest Threats
What Is Email Scamming?
Email scamming involves malicious actors posing as legitimate, trusted entities and sending fraudulent emails to unsuspecting users in an attempt to deceive them into sharing sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details. Email scams typically trick the victim into clicking on a malicious link that redirects them to a fake website designed to look like the real site. Once on the fake site, the user is fooled into entering their login credentials, which are then stolen by the threat actors. In many cases, these emails are designed to create a sense of urgency or panic to encourage the recipients to act quickly without thinking things through. Successful email scams can inflict severe, lasting damage on any business, including data and financial loss, extensive downtime, and serious reputational harm.
Common & Dangerous Types of Email Scams
Phishing
Phishing is a type of cyberattack frequently carried out via email in which threat actors use either a spoofed email address or an account compromised in a previous attack to send malicious emails designed to trick users into falling for a scam. The motive behind a phishing campaign is typically to get people to reveal financial information, credentials, or other sensitive data. Phishing is an extremely popular method of attack because it is cheap, easy, and effective for cybercriminals, and can be devastating for victim organizations.
Spam Email
Spam email, also known as junk email, refers to unsolicited messages sent in bulk. The majority of spam emails are commercial in nature, and since the expense of a fake message is borne mainly by the recipient, spam can be viewed as postage due advertising. Regardless of its purpose or origin, spam email should be recognized as a serious threat. Aside from being highly distracting and annoying, spam may contain malicious links or attachments and often serves as a vector for other serious attacks, such as phishing and malware.
Business Email Compromise (BEC)
BEC attacks, which involve a threat actor gaining access to a corporate email account and spoofing the account owner’s identity in order to steal money, are becoming increasingly widespread due to their simplicity and effectiveness. This scam comes in various forms, including urgent payment requests, bogus past-due statements, and fraudulent wiring instructions, among others. BEC attacks can have serious implications for individuals as well as organizations, and companies often require employees who fall for these scams to eat the loss.

Closes Critical Gaps in Built-In Microsoft 365 & Google Workspace Email Security
Built-in email protection in Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace is unable to defend your business against the sophisticated social engineering tactics and malicious URLs that are characteristic of many email scams. Native security mechanisms are also unable to identify behavioral and conversational anomalies, often leveraged in these attacks, that deceive victims into sharing sensitive credentials that can be used to compromise accounts. A successful attack can lead to the compromise of sensitive information and severe, lasting reputation damage, making proactive supplementary email protection like Guardian Digital EnGarde Cloud Email Security provides critical in safeguarding your business against the many types of dangerous, deceptive email scams it faces daily.
