Persistent threat features, such as threat actor locale and unsolicited email crafting tools, along with recipient oriented features. Current detection techniques work well for spam and phishing because its easy to detect mass-generated email sent to millions of addresses. TME mainly targets single users or small groups in low volumes. TME can pretend network exploitation. Hence for detection of TME is vital work.
