| Latest Spam Weapon Defeated by ClearMyMail - PDF Spam Not a Problem
ClearMyMail keeps ahead of the spammers again by blocking their latest method of trying to by-pass the filters. (PRWEB) July 28, 2007 -- One of the latest techniques spammers are using to try and get through spam blockers is to attach a simple PDF file to their e-mails. This PDF file will then contain their sales message (E.g. "These shares are going through the roof!") making it difficult for traditional spam blockers to know what the message is about -- most spam blockers are unable to read the contents of a PDF file. The majority of these PDF spam e-mails are simple Pump and Dump scams (Pump & Dump Scams), where the spammer is trying to raise the price of a companies stock or shares. Because the spam message is contained within an attached PDF file, many spam blockers are unable to read the contents.
Spam filter targets PDF scams
Anti-spam firm ClearMyMail has claimed 100 per cent protection against PDF spam, as spammers change their tactics in a bid to flood mailboxes. One of the latest techniques spammers are using to try and get through spam blockers is to attach a PDF file to their emails. This PDF file will then contain the spammers’ sales message, making it difficult for traditional spam blockers as most spam blockers are unable to read the contents. ClearMyMail said the majority of these PDF spam emails are simple ‘Pump and Dump’ scams but blocking all emails with PDF files is not an option either, as this would end up losing legitimate emails. The other problem is that a normal spam email will be roughly 4-8k in size but a PDF spam will often be 24k or more.
Put the Katz e-mails on eBay
IT'S TIME. Raise the curtain. We need the answer. Every pundit and politician in New Jersey believes Governor Corzine's plan for asset monetization involves the leasing or selling of the New Jersey Turnpike and Garden State Parkway. I have another possibility. New Jersey should monetize Carla Katz ... well, not her, but her e-mails with Corzine. Katz monetization is our best chance of reducing, or as state Senate Minority Leader Leonard Lance would say, "defeasing," the state's crippling debt. Katz's lawyers were in court Thursday successfully arguing that she could participate in future legal arguments on whether e-mails between the governor and herself should be made public. Corzine and Katz used to date. Katz is the president of the state's largest public employee union.
