You think hitting “delete” on spam is harmless. But in 2025, every deleted message could be a missed chance to strengthen your security. Spam folders are no longer just clutter – they are sensors, providing critical insights into threats targeting your organization.
Modern email filters rely on user feedback. Each message marked as spam teaches the system what to block next. Delete without marking it, and you deprive your defenses of crucial learning signals. Attackers exploit this gap to refine their tactics and bypass filters, targeting your colleagues more effectively.
Spam has evolved. It’s no longer generic flood emails. Today it appears as invoices, banking notifications, or internal corporate alerts, crafted to look legitimate. Messages silently deleted without reporting allow attackers to test new attack vectors without consequence.
Even “unsubscribe” links are traps. Clicking confirms your mailbox is active, giving attackers valuable intelligence for future campaigns.
The solution is simple: don’t delete blindly. Mark spam, report phishing, and analyze suspicious content. This approach builds actionable intelligence.
