But through more engaging education, more authentic practice, and more creative protection practices, schools have a much better chance of mitigating the impact.

Along with the information on how scam has become a daily life issue, it provides us with tips and options to be educated on how to avoid being a victim of spamming, within the options we have to send periodic email reminders. This can reduce the number of users who fall victim to email-based threats.  Secondly, to avoid detection, an infected email account usually will not initiate the release of thousands of spam emails until the weekend or late at night. Thirdly, back up data regularly. And finally, always be aware of the sender of the email.
