Japanese telecom giant NTT Docomo is trying a novel approach to stopping spam email scams by sharing them with users. The company has launched a website that showcases malicious messages to warn people to be on guard.
The site is called "junk e-mail exhibition," and it is formatted like an email inbox.
It displays actual spam messages claiming to be from online retailers, credit card firms, mobile carriers and more.
They warn of issues like payment problems and ask users to click links. The messages are phishing scams that aim to steal customer data.
NTT Docomo is also asking the public to help out with the exhibition. It has launched a Twitter account where people can share spam email they've received.
The website will run through March 18 to coincide with cybersecurity month in Japan.
