◆What is target threat mail?

Targeted threats are a class of malware destined for one specific organization or industry. A type of crimeware, these threats are of particular concern because they are designed to capture sensitive information. Targeted attacks may include threats delivered via SMTP e-mail, port attacks, zero day attack vulnerability exploits or phishing messages. Government organizations are the most targeted sector.

◆If what you received looks like a threat email, what you need to check?

※Check the sender’s identity: Verify if the email address is from a known source and if it’s consistent with past correspondence from that person or organization.
※Review the content of the email: Look for any specific details or instructions and determine if the threat is credible.
※Check for suspicious attachments or links: Do not open attachments or click on links from unknown or suspicious sources, as they could contain malware or phishing attempts.
※Consider the context: Consider any recent events or interactions that could have led to the receipt of the threat, and evaluate the potential motives of the sender.
※Report the threat: If you feel the threat is credible or if you’re unsure, report the email to your organization’s security or IT team and follow their instructions.
