“…Attackers can gain easy access to email server by targeting naïve users in the local area network. If the attacker infects one end user's system by social engineering based methodology, he can launch DDoS attacks in the local area network [7]. This scenario can be explained as follows.…”

“…From our analysis, we can divide the attacks roughly into two categories such as server based attacks and client based attacks. The DDoS attacks through spam targets servers rather than clients [7]. Phishing attacks, password phishing, Nigerien fraud mails, social network based security threats target client data for financial gain [7,9].…”

Phishing attacks, password phishing, Nigerien fraud mails, social network based security threats target client data for financial gain [7,9]. The client based attacks target end users to collect sensitive data such as banking, information, passwords, etc., to commit financial crimes.…”

Due to wide range of users, email had emerged as one of the preferred method to intrude Local area networks and end users. In this paper we examine the characteristics of various email security threats and the technology used by attackers. In order to counter defense technology, attackers change their mode of operation frequently. The continuous evaluation of attacker's pattern will help the industry to combat attacks effectively. In our study, we collected several thousand spam from a corporate server for a period of 12 months from Jan 2012 to Jan 2013. From the collected data, we identified various types of security threats through email and the attacker's mode of operation. We believe that this study will help to develop more efficient and secure methodologies against security threats through email.

“…To prevent attacks, according to [2], one may adopt methods such as intrusion detection system (IDS) [3] or firewalls, which are effective for known attacks or IP addresses. Other methods including packet filtering, packet marking, and ICMP Traceback [4][5] [6] messages, which are effective for identifying sources of attacks and instituting protection measures but are not easy to be deployed since they need supporting routers to maintain information regarding packets that pass through them.…”
