What is a Spam Mail?

 

Spam mail, often referred to as "spam," is unsolicited and usually irrelevant or inappropriate email sent over the internet, typically for the purpose of advertising, phishing, spreading malware, or other malicious activities. Spam emails are sent to a large number of recipients without their consent, and they often contain links to websites, offers for products or services, or attempts to gather personal information.

 

Spam can be a nuisance and pose security risks, as it may lead recipients to phishing sites or malicious downloads. Many email providers employ filters to detect and block spam, but some messages may still manage to reach users' inboxes.

 

It's important for users to be cautious and avoid clicking on links or providing personal information in emails from unknown or untrusted sources to protect themselves from potential scams and security threats associated with spam.
