[Austin, 05/07/2019] -- Email spam has been around for over 40 years, according to a “History of Spam” paper by the nonprofit organization The Internet Society. Despite efforts from email suites like Gmail and Microsoft Outlook to mitigate these malicious messages entirely, over 45% of all emails are still spam, internet security website SpamLaws says. Infected mail could help hackers breach private data and even lock users out from their computers. This is why CMIT Solutions offers its Email Security services to clients.

How Spam Affects Businesses

CMIT Solutions found that over 50% of organizations in the U.S. have experienced ransomware attacks that mostly came through email. According to cybersecurity information website CSO, ransomware is malicious software that locks a user out of accessing their data. The attackers then contact the user to ask for a fee to return their data.

The site also stated that these hackers often target government agencies, law firms, and medical facilities because they have sensitive data that could be worth a lot of money if compromised in an attack. What’s worse is that attackers don’t always follow up on their promises to return data once ransom is paid.
