Spam is a term that refers to unwanted and unsolicited messages that are distributed via various digital communication channels such as email, SMS, social media and instant messaging services. These messages are often sent by senders trying to promote a product, service or idea, or to deliver malware to the recipient’s computer.
Spam can come in various forms, including promotional emails, chain emails, fraudulent offers, phishing messages and spam bots that automatically send messages to large groups of users. These messages can be annoying and disruptive for the recipient as they take up time and resources and often have no relevant content.
Many countries have passed laws against spam in order to limit the spread of unwanted messages. Some companies have also developed filtering and blocking technologies to identify and filter out spam messages. However, attempts will continue to be made to spread spam messages and it is important that users exercise caution and watch out for suspicious messages to protect themselves from potential threats.
