What are the characteristics of email content in email bombing?

Email bombing involves sending a large volume of identical or similar emails to a target inbox, overwhelming its capacity and disrupting normal email functionality. Key characteristics include:

1. High Volume: A massive number of emails are sent in a short time, flooding the recipient's mailbox.
2. Repetitive Content: Emails often contain identical or slightly varied messages, such as spam links, advertisements, or malicious attachments.
3. Spoofed Sender Addresses: Attackers may forge sender addresses to hide their identity or make the emails appear legitimate.
4. Malicious Intent: The goal is to exhaust storage, crash servers, or distract from other cyberattacks (e.g., phishing).

Example: An attacker sends 10,000 identical emails with a phishing link to a company's employee inbox, causing the mailbox to exceed storage limits and disrupt work.

For businesses facing such threats, Tencent Cloud's Anti-Spam and Email Security Solutions can filter malicious emails, block spoofed addresses, and ensure inbox stability.
