Suspicious subjects are the email subjects of malicious or suspicious email messages. Find trends in common keywords or other social engineering techniques. Pretexting is the most common way to engage a victim. Look for email subjects that appear familiar to targeted recipients (examples: holiday party invitation, bank statement, or a common subject used in department newsletters) that can trick your users into opening the email message. If users trust the email subject, there is more chance that they will download a malicious attachment or follow a phishing link that appears to be a legitimate request for their domain credentials or customer information.
