In the past five years, my email server this receives almost daily, fishing emails from Electrical T&M brands.
I am internet user for 28 years, and I also have IT background for 20 years up to date, but I did not insist at obtaining certification for it.
My systems captures and classify all fishing emails by 99% success.
The list of Electrical T&M brands this is not endless, they are few, I known very well of their whereabouts.
Fishing emails from Electrical T&M brands
Dark internet this uses several methods so to fix the appearance, and make one email this looking as legit at normal viewing mode.
Usual email title could be .... we are participating in to an exhibit ... we sell at low price used equipment, demonstration units at exhibit's.
Dark internet expectations
Fishing email this is the fist stage, for active email account confirmation.
Second stage this is SPAM email targeting.
This period of time, I have seen something unusual, someone playing with Teledyne LeCroy branding.
Actual email analysis, this shown a pile of fake email accounts, for an hypothetical direct communication with Teledyne.
Along of The fishing web link ...
Message title ... we sell at low price used equipment, demonstration units at exhibit's.
For me it is very easy to spot fishing emails with out opening them, or by opening them in a safe sand box.
Personally and by choice, I do not follow any brand by News-Letter subscription.
In conclusion,
Better safe than Sorry... And I suggest of you using lots of logical thought, at how you do email box management.
