Spam remains a thriving and profitable enterprise, with scammers continually developing new schemes to profit from unsuspecting victims, such as acting as unlicensed pharmacies, or peddling fake designer goods, diet pills or work-from-home scams. Despite increased awareness of cybersecurity attacks and risks, spam is still an effective attack method. According to the Verizon 2015 Data Breach Investigations Report, 23 percent of recipients open phishing messages and 11 percent click on attachments. Verizon’s research also revealed that nearly 50 percent of users open emails and click on phishing links within the first hour of the launch of a phishing campaign.

“Spammers are constantly looking for ways to gain valuable and sensitive private and financial information through sophisticated phishing attacks and spam campaigns,” said Leon Rishniw, senior vice president of engineering, Cloudmark. “Based on Cloudmark’s lengthy history of combatting spam, we have unique insights into malicious actors and how they adapt their tactics in response to new security measures.
