How Gmail phishing emails bypass the filters and how to spot them [View all]

Although email spam is something that we are faced with every day, it should still be taken very seriously. There is no hard-and-fast law against spam, and most prominent spammers only get caught for wire fraud or other financial crimes and not spam emails. The only real solution is spam filters.

While Gmail has quite advanced spam filters, it is not perfect. Now and then, spammers find a way through the filters and get the chance to distribute their phishing emails. As a Gmail client, you should know how to identify and handle these emails when they get through the filters.

This is also becoming more and more difficult as spammers get more advanced in their phishing techniques. Some of the latest Gmail phishing is so advanced that they even appear to be from legitimate domains, and even the code of the email is disguised to make it appear legitimate and bypass the Gmail filters.
