Spam Filtering: July 2007 Archives

I was just catching up on my blog reading, which is something I've been doing less and less of over the last while. Today seems to be a day filled with spam related news. Head Rambles has a very amusing post about a badly worded phishing mail. As can be expected he's taken a potential annoyance and turned it into a hilarious incident. Darren "ProBlogger" Rowse mentions a new "service" offering spam comments at knockdown prices. Yes - you too can help put people off blogs and blogging !! Techcrunch reports that Google is to buy Postini. Postini has been around for several years and is one of the better known email filtering companies. I wonder if they'll handle the transition better than when they acquired Urchin.. Only time will tell, but I'm not betting on it!

Permanent TSB customers are the target of a current phishing campaign. The fraudulent website will ask for ATM pin numbers directly!
