What Is Malware Spam (Malspam)?

Malware spam, or malspam, is a correlation of malicious spam and email malware. It’s a prevailing tool for cybercriminals who send emails with infected attachments or links to insert malware into users’ systems. Methods to evade malspam include verifying the sender, checking for erratic language or requests, not downloading suspicious attachments, and using anti-malware tools and email security solutions. Reporting suspicious emails to IT departments or government cybersecurity agencies is also recommended.
