Spim invades instant messaging platforms like a never-ending stream of virtual junk mail. Just as spam clogs up your email inbox with unwanted ads, spim targets users with unsolicited messages on messaging apps.
While email spam has been an annoying presence for decades, spim is a newer iteration that thrives on platforms such as WhatsApp, Skype, and other chat services. Bots typically send these mass-distributed ads and promotions, exploiting the immediacy and directness of instant messaging. Protecting against spim typically requires adjusting app settings and blocking and reporting it when encountering it.
