Honey Pot
Identity Theft
In our context, it is also known as a “spam trap”. We have thousands of domains which accept all email sent to them, with the express purpose of capturing as much email as possible. We publish email addresses on high-visibility websites, in order to get on the perpetrators’ email lists, so that they will send us their phishing messages, which we can then take down.
