to jam the authorities that listen in on them by providing a form of a red herring and an intentional

Answer: Email jamming

Explanation:
Email jamming is the use of sensitive words in e-mails to jam the authorities that
listen in on them by providing a form of a red herring and an intentional annoyance. In this attack,
an attacker deliberately includes “sensitive” words and phrases in otherwise innocuous emails to
ensure that these are picked up by the monitoring systems. As a result the senders of these
emails will eventually be added to a “harmless” list and their emails will be no longer intercepted,
hence it will allow them to regain some privacy.
