  • Abstract
    Deceptive email that leads unwary users to disclose sensitive information on fake websites is the most common form of malware seen by today\´s users. The technology behind these attacks uses the Internet\´s weak notion of "place" and the increasing use of websites for financial transactions. Users can protect themselves through precautionary measures, and experts learn to accurately identify malicious email.
