Spam and the Ongoing Battle for Safe Communications
Overview Managing spam is an increasingly critical function for businesses of all sizes. According to the February, 2007, issue of the Communications of the ACM, the overall volume of spam has increased from 10%, in 1998, to 80%, today. The onslaught of spam significantly degrades the reliability of e-mail for business communication. Many web sites provide web-based e-mail forms instead of listing e-mail addresses. Spammers and phishers have been using increasingly sophisticated techniques to attack these forms. These adversaries use Google to locate vulnerable web sites and then use botnets to attack them. In order to effectively fight spam, it is important to use multiple tools. This paper examines the overall threat facing every blogger, web site operator, and e-mail user.
