collaboration with Facebook<\/a>, published in May. WOT will give customers who receive unfamiliar links in their email information to identify dangerous messages and avoid clicking on URLs that might lead to compromised websites or malware downloads. If a user follows a risky link, an explanation of why it does not satisfy WOT\u2019s rating criteria will appear so they can make an informed decision whether to continue, go back or learn more. Mail.ru will not block any links.<\/p>\n\u201cWe know that for a majority of Mail.ru users, email is the main tool for communication with friends, colleagues, clients and acquaintances. Of course, we want to make mail.ru as safe as possible. Our cooperation with WOT is the next step in creating the safest email system which warns users about untrustworthy and malicious sites,” said Anna Artamonova, Vice President for Strategic Projects at Mail.ru Group.<\/p>\n
Targeted email attacks are on the rise<\/h4>\n
Antivirus companies report an 80 percent reduction in overall spam volumes. Instead of traditional spam, cybercriminals are focusing on higher-value actions, including increased scams and malicious attacks, spearphishing and targeted attacks.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn recent months, targeted email attacks have increased significantly worldwide,\u201c said Vesa Per\u00e4l\u00e4, CEO of WOT Services. \u201cCybercrooks gather personal information from social networks and other web sources to craft tempting emails that users will click. WOT\u2019s real-time reputation ratings provide Mail.ru customers a safe environment from phishing, scams and other forms of email threats.<\/p>\n
