GUEST RESEARCH:  Infoblox Threat Intel researchers have discovered new insights into the use of spoofed domains in modern malicious spam (malspam) campaigns, sending unsolicited emails that contain harmful attachments or links designed to infect the recipient's computer with malware or to steal sensitive information.
