Moreover, ever since the occurrence of the COVID-19 pandemic, the traffic of outbound emails has increased immensely.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">This has further motivated these threat actors to launch email-based attacks in mass.
