Phishing Scams Amazingly Effective

Phishing Scams Amazingly Effective 07/28/2004 04:53 PM
An anti-spam company showed a bunch of emails to people to see if they could spot the phishing scam emails from the legitimate emails and discovered that an awful lot of people are easily fooled. 28% of the time, people thought scam emails were legit. No wonder they're so popular these days. The study also turned up that there are problems with false negatives as well. A large number of perfectly legitimate emails are now being dismissed as fraudulent by users who are too weary of phishing scams. This, obviously, can be quite troublesome for companies who need a legitimate way to contact their customers. The answer seems pretty simple: don't put URLs in emails any more. If you need someone to check their account, tell them to go to your webpage and login, and have a clear splash page that details the issue. Then, convince people not to click on emails in these messages.

Identity Theft, Auction Scams Top The
List Of Scams Again

Identity Theft, Auction Scams Top The
List Of Scams Again 02/01/2005 09:43 PM
It's unlikely to surprise many people but identity theft and aucti on scams where the seller never ships the item topped the list of scam complaints to the FTC. Of course, what the FTC doesn't break down is how many of the identity theft complaints happened online vs. those caused by a lost wallet or checkbook. Just last week, a study suggested that online identity theft really isn't a very big problem. Also, as the original article notes, it's tough to tell whether the quantity of scams increased, or just that consumers are more aware of them and know to report them. Update: Meanwhile, over in the UK, it looks like d ifferent kinds of scams are popular, with typical confidence scams leading the way.

Content-aware search

Content-aware search 02/10/2004 02:49 AM

At InfoWorld's 2002 CTO Forum, Google co-founder Sergey Brin threw cold water on the idea of instrumenting content for intelligent search. "I'd rather make progress by having computers understand what humans write," he said, "than by forcing humans to write in ways that computers can understand." Brin's pragmatic stance sharply opposes the idealistic view of the Web's inventor, Tim Berners-Lee, who continues to evangelize his vision of a Semantic Web full of carefully encoded content that we can precisely search and fluidly recombine. My own humble contribution to this debate is a prototype search engine, now running on my Weblog, that tries to steer a middle course between the Scylla of simple fulltext search and the Charybdis of unwieldy tagging schemes and brittle ontologies. [Full story at InfoWorld.com]

I keep trying out phrases to capture what I'm aiming for. One is 'dynamic categories,' another is 'interoperable content.' Probably neither will stick, because these only describe how to do something, not why. The why, of course, is productivity. ...
