A practical introduction to recognizing malicious email
Julie Jch Ryan’s concise security guide frames malicious email as a broad threat category encompassing fraud, theft, espionage, and malware delivery. It distinguishes between human-directed and automated attacks, using email attachments as one example of how harmful code can reach a recipient’s computer. The book concentrates on the judgment calls automated filtering may not resolve: telling suspicious messages apart from legitimate correspondence and limiting damage through user awareness. Its protective strategies address both individual inbox habits and email use in enterprise environments, making the scope relevant to everyday users as well as organizational security contexts.

Malicious email is, simply put, email with a malicious purpose. The malicious purpose could be fraud, theft, espionage, or malware injection. The processes by which email execute the malicious activity vary widely, from fully manual (e.g. human-directed) to fully automated. One example of a malicious email is one that contains an attachment which the recipient is directed to open. When the attachment is opened, malicious software is installed on the recipient's computer. Because malicious email can vary so broadly in form and function, automated detection is only marginally helpful. The education of all users to detect potential malicious email is important to containing the threat and limiting the damage. It is increasingly necessary for all email users to understand how to recognize and combat malicious email.
Detecting and Combating Malicious Email describes the different types of malicious email, shows how to differentiate malicious email from benign email, and suggest protective strategies for both personal and enterprise email environments.
