Types of Email Security Threats
Malware
The purpose of malware is to intrude on a machine for a variety of reasons. From theft of financial details, to sensitive corporate or personal information, malware is best avoided, for even if it has no malicious purpose at present, it could well have so at some point in the future.
With the growth in online usage over the last decade, there has also been a rapid increase in the number and types of malware that currently roam in the wild. It is highly likely that one form of malware or another is already present on the machine of anyone reading this article.
Of course, not all malware is as aggressive or intrusive as others, though it is generally good practice to have a secure anti-malware solution in place to protect a computer or computer network.
Email Spoofing
Spoofed emails are part of phishing campaigns, which are designed to trick the recipient into taking some action that helps the attacker. If an email has an embedded link to click, an attachment, or requests some other action, then it is wise to check it for spoofing.
In some cases, the attacker may use a real, lookalike address, such as substituting cornpany.com for company.com. In others, the value of the FROM header may be replaced with a legitimate address that is not under the sender’s control.
Spoofed emails are designed to be deceptive, meaning that employees may struggle to identify sophisticated phishing attacks. A single click on a malicious link or opening a malware-laden attachment can cause significant harm to the enterprise. Phishing emails are a leading cause of data breaches and one of the top delivery mechanisms for ransomware and other malware.
Phishing
Phishers use a wide range of techniques to make their phishing emails look legitimate. These are some of the most commonly used techniques, which can be used to identify these malicious emails.
One of the most common techniques used in phishing emails are lookalike or fake domains. Lookalike domains are designed to appear to be a legitimate or trusted domain to a casual glance. For example, instead of the email address boss@company.com, a phishing email may use boss@cornpany.com or boss@compаny.com. The first email substitutes rn for m and the second uses the Cyrillic а instead of the Latin a. While these emails may look like the real thing, they belong to a completely different domain that may be under the attacker’s control.
Phishers may also use fake but plausible domains in their attacks. For example, an email claiming to be from Netflix may be from help@netflix-support.com. While this email address may seem legitimate, it isn’t necessarily owned by or associated with Netflix.
Ranswomware
The modern ransomware craze began with the WannaCry outbreak of 2017. This large-scale and highly-publicized attack demonstrated that ransomware attacks were possible and potentially profitable. Since then, dozens of ransomware variants have been developed and used in a variety of attacks.
In order to be successful, ransomware needs to gain access to a target system, encrypt the files there, and demand a ransom from the victim.
Ransomware, like any malware, can gain access to an organization’s systems in a number of different ways. However, ransomware operators tend to prefer a few specific infection vectors.
One of these is phishing emails. A malicious email may contain a link to a website hosting a malicious download or an attachment that has downloader functionality built in. If the email recipient falls for the phish, then the ransomware is downloaded and executed on their computer.
Business Email Compromise (BEC)
Business email compromise (BEC) is a specific type of phishing attack, a spear phishing attack to be precise – with the objective being to trick employees into taking harmful actions, typically sending money to the attacker. BEC is one of the most damaging and expensive types of phishing attacks in existence, costing businesses billions of dollars each year.
Rather than using a very general pretext designed to fool a large number of users, this particular attack is targeted directly at an individual or small group.
A BEC attack relies upon the ability to look like someone with power within a company or a trusted external partner.
A BEC attack takes advantage of a seemingly-legitimate email address to trick the recipient into taking a certain action. The most common goal of a BEC attack is to convince the target to send money to the attacker while believing that they are performing a legitimate, authorized business transaction.
