Abstract
Email changed the way we communicate in today’s highly technical world. Its usage increased tremendously in the last few years and millions of user’s world wide joined this technological revolution that made the world look so small and at our disposal. The widespread use of email caused the number of warnings being made about the dark side our technological revolution to increase and we are becoming uniquely vulnerable to many mysterious and malicious threats. Viruses, worms, and other forms of malicious software started targeting our email inboxes to propagate. Spam and other forms of unsolicited bulk electronic commerce started filling our email inboxes and invading our privacy. Phishing and other forms of fraud attacks have been using email as their primary communication channel to trick users into giving out their credentials.
