Spam
Spam refers to unsolicited and often bulk messages sent over electronic messaging systems, primarily via email but also through instant messaging, social media, and text messages. These messages are typically promotional in nature but can also be malicious, aiming to phish for personal information or spread malware. Spam consumes network resources, clutters inboxes, and poses security risks. Effective spam filters and user vigilance are essential in mitigating the impact of spam.
