                  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

 92              people intentionally send bulk mails to a user until the mail-server runs out of disk space.             93
                 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 (a 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.
