UNSOLICITED EMAILS OFFERING EVERYTHING FROM
ACCESS TO AFRICAN BANK ACCOUNTS OF DEPOSED
OFFICIALS TO THE LATEST INSIDER INFORMATION
ABOUT SOMETHING OF GREAT INTEREST TO THE
READER. THE SPAM EMAILS OFTEN INCLUDE LINKS TO
WEBSITES (OFTEN MALICIOUS WEBSITES) OR ATTACHED
FILES TO DOWNLOAD. THEY GENERALLY CLAIM TO
IMPROVE A READER'S FINANCIAL OR PROFESSIONAL
LIFE, BUT THE ATTACHMENT OR LINK EXPOSES THE
COMPUTER TO MALWARE.
• MANY OF THESE EMAILS ARE PHISHING EMAILS
DESIGNED TO "HOOK" INNOCENT PEOPLE USING SOME
TYPE OF INCENTIVE AS BAIT. SPEAR PHISHING
INVOLVES ATTACKS ON INDIVIDUALS USING REAL
PERSONAL DETAILS. CYBERCRIMINALS BAIT THESE
EMAIL HOOKS WITH DETAILS THAT ARE OF KNOWN
INTEREST TO THE TARGET.
