New Delhi: Sorting out your inbox can be a hassle, especially when it’s full of unwanted messages that can also pose security risks. You may be bombarded by emails that are sent in bulk to promote various products or services. These spam messages often bypass filters and land directly in your main inbox. It creates unnecessary clutter and makes it difficult to detect important emails.
Scams go a step further, involving attackers using deceptive emails to trick users into revealing personal information. This includes clicking on dangerous links or downloading malware. For example, phishing scams often imitate legitimate emails from trusted organizations to lure users into sharing sensitive data. Google has introduced an “Unsubscribe” button to help users defend against these scams, making it easier for them to opt out of receiving spam emails quickly.
