Spam and E-mail Marketing White Papers
The spam economy: the convergent spam and virus threats
Overview Spammers, virus writers and hackers were once distinct communities with distinct motivations. However, the success of spam has brought the three together in an underground economy with a single purpose: to make money from unsolicited email. This paper examines how the convergence of the spam and virus threats is developing a new spam economy. It details the level of protection that businesses need to combat the threats, and demonstrates how Sophos can help keep organizations spam- and virus-free. A glossary of spammers, tricks and related terms is included at the end of the paper.
