                       Spamming
                  It refers to the sending of bulk mail by an identified or unidentified source. Sometimes, certain
                  businesses  send bulk-advertising  mail  to  many accounts  at  the same  time.  Some  people
                  intentionally send bulk mails to a user until the mail-server runs out of disk space.

                  Some people send virus-infected applications and files through the Internet via e-mails, chats,
                  games, etc. to get access to your smartphone and personal data. These e-mails may contain a
                  document (Word or Excel file) with malware (dangerous program that can impact your computer)
                  attached to it. Opening such documents results in the malware being installed on your computer
                  or mobile.



























                  Using reputable websites to download files and not opening doubtful e-mails are some ways to
                  counter these threats.

                  Some cybercriminals send emails informing the victim that they have won a lottery or a surprise
                  gift. The cybercriminal then asks for personal details and bank details for transferring the winning
                  amount. Cybercriminals may also ask the victim to deposit a small processing fee to lure the
                  victim to transfer the winning amount.
