Key Components of Email Threat Intelligence
Spam Traps
- Definition: Spam traps are email addresses designed to capture unsolicited emails, often repurposed from old or abandoned addresses.
- Types:
- Pure Spam Traps: Addresses that were never used for legitimate email communication and are solely created to attract spam.
- Recycled Spam Traps: Old, inactive email addresses repurposed to identify unsolicited emails.
- Impact: Emails sent to spam traps can tarnish your sender reputation and result in blacklisting.
Old/Expired Domains
- Definition: Once-active domains that have been abandoned or expired.
- Threat: These domains can be exploited by cybercriminals to launch phishing campaigns or malicious activities under the guise of a legitimate domain.
- Monitoring: Tracking these domains can reveal potential phishing or other malicious activities.
Email Honeypots
- Definition: Systems specifically designed to attract and analyze malicious email activities, such as phishing or malware attacks.
- Purpose: By collecting data on these threats, honeypots provide deep insights into evolving tactics and enable proactive defenses.
