Spam's up

Spam's up 05/27/2004 07:44 AM
The amount of spam I'm receiving seems to have stepped up significantly over the past few days, going from about 1,200 per day to about 2,000. I'm not seeing any particular pattern to the increase - they're not all coming from the same address, they're not all advertising remote control cars or Nigerian. beefsteak mines, nor has my address shown up on some high-traffic site, to the best of my knowledge. (Ironically, after Doc and I published World of Ends, my spam rate got a boost.) Is it just me?...

Uh-oh: Spam's getting more sophisticated

Uh-oh: Spam's getting more sophisticated 01/20/2003 11:33 AM
John Draper at ShopIP got some chuckles when he shared his "cool things you can do" to spammers, such as flood their return mail or set up numerous inactive "honey pot" e-mail addresses to "poison" their mailing lists.

Often spammers don't contain legitimate return addresses, but Draper said he went to one spammer's site, found a product order form, duplicated it on his own system and then set it up to send about a thousand messages back to the spammer.

The apparently irony-challenged spammer contacted Draper promptly to complain. Draper responded that he would stop if his e-mail was removed from the spam list. It was taken off the next day. -- Sharon Machlis

BusinessWeek Online - Nick D'Onofrio has always been proud of his Italian heritage. The IBM senior vice-president of technology is a second-generation American, and his grandparents came from the boot south of Rome. So he was shocked when he learned in February that his ancestry stretched back to the Middle East's Fertile Crescent. "Nobody was more flabbergasted than me at the news," says D'Onofrio. "I said, 'What? I'm Italian!'"
