Yandex 360 reportedly processes about 100 billion incoming emails in 2022 and prevented about 6.5 billion malicious spam in Mail. Basically, spam was sent to people on behalf of large companies and government agencies. We have often received letters about tax refunds, reimbursement of expenses, additional payments, letters with malicious link PDF attachments, lotteries and sweepstakes.
Most of the time, fake emails are fake messages from well-known sites like Gosuslug. The mail is also full of online casino advertisements.
“The danger of such mailings is that they include requests to follow a link or provide payment details and other important information. Spam Defense algorithms are constantly learning to recognize new types of spam. The users themselves are also very helpful in this regard, marking the spam emails as spam and reporting them to the Yandex 360 team, ”he said.
