More Spammers Threatening To Sue
Anti-Spammers 06/11/2004 12:55 PM
It looks like the various spam laws that help legalize spam are making the spammers extra litigious. Following a lawsuit in the US by a spammer against an anti-spam operation for still block their email, some spammers in the UK are threatening Spamhaus with lawsuits for still having them on their blacklist. The problem is that, just because the law now gives them the permission to spam, it doesn't mean people aren't allowed to make their own private efforts to block them. The laws may allow them to send their spam, but there's nothing in these laws that require people to receive it.

Anti-Spammers Don't Need CAN-SPAM

Anti-Spammers Don't Need CAN-SPAM 09/25/2004 12:00 AM
While the CAN-SPAM act was meant to stop spam, it obviously hasn't yet. Although it's pretty easy to point out some of CAN-SPAM's flaws, it's perhaps better that some anti-spam activists are actually taking spammers to court -- though mostly citing pre-existing laws regarding false advertising or deception. Armed with these older and easier-to-understand laws, the Informal Coalition of Private Anti-spam Litigants (ICPAL) and the Institute for Spam and Internet Public Policy (ISIPP) have helped some businesses and devout anti-spammers take some sleazy mass emailers to court and win a few sizable monetary judgments. Still, the strategy for these anti-spammers is to remain informal but organized, so that spammers can't retaliate. However, these anti-spammers also say they're not in it for the money, and some have refused to settle out of court on principle. Given that some of the spammers are hard to actually find, much less extract damages from, it looks like these vigilante organizations may remain small and informal until perhaps some bounties are put out on spammers heads.

Anti-Spam Spammers Leading The Way To
Better AI -- Part II 09/01/2004 11:04 PM
In what appears to be something of a copy of a ZDNet article that we wrote about just last week, the NY Times is now looking at spam and wondering if the battle between spammers and anti-spammers will help push the state of artificial intelligence forward. Specifically, the writer focuses on what he considers the "irony" of spam that advertises anti-spam filters. Of course, many of us don't consider that "irony," but "a scam." Still, he wonders if this battle by companies claiming to offer anti-spam filters, and the real anti-spam filters trying to filter it out, will lead to smarter technology that better understands how humans want to use email -- including what kind of spam people won't mind reading.

MT-Blacklist

MT-Blacklist 08/10/2004 04:26 PM

MT-Blacklist - A Movable Type Anti-spam Plugin: Well, a new salvo in the war against comment spam has been launched. The idiot hawking tramadol has forced me to install MT-Blacklist. He was coming in about 10 times a day from different IP addresses, so I couldn't ban him. He seems to be locked out pretty securely now.

Great plugin. Required a little hacking to get it to work, but I'm happy. It has a great "de-spam" feature that lets you retroactively examine every past comment AND trackback for banned content. It found seven comment spams that I missed in my daily grooming, then deleted them, and rebuilt the pages. Very slick.

Phishing Blacklist Thoughts

Phishing Blacklist Thoughts 04/17/2004 05:47 PM

These are some of the thoughts I had recently about phishing blacklists which is going to play a major role against phishing in the near future.

1. False reports can be submitted by phishers and pranksters.  To prevent this, anonymous reports should not be allowed.  Unfortunately, the user is not likely to be logged in when a report is made.  Solution is to queue the report until the reporting user successfully logs in.  Once the user is identified and associated with the report, filters and weights can be applied to rate the report.
   
   Queueing reports with client-software is no problem.  For server-side only, file the report under a cookie which can be claimed when the user logs in.  Unclaimed reports are removed after a time limit.
    
2. Maintenance, particularly the removal of entries, will be a big headache as domains are reused and websites are cleaned up.  Current maintainers are not equipped to handle this properly IMHO.
    
3. Companies should also be able to prevent some domain names from being reused independent of domain name registrars.  Ultimately, domain name registrars and blacklist maintainers will have to work things out.  This will likely lead to registrars taking over maintenance of blacklists and extending the service to provide 'howis', 'whatis', and 'whereis' information as well as 'whois'.
    
4. Beyond correlating reports, suspected URLs can be crawled to a) see if it is indeed a phishing site, b) warn the phisher into running and thus abandoning the phishing site, and possibly c) spoofback bogus information.

A banker from downunder and a wee to the right just informed me that he can't read my blog because WebSense, used by his bank, is blocking the Docuverse domain.  I know where to go for regular checkup of my credit ratings. Where can I go to find out whether I am on blacklists and how can I get myself off them?  Is there a notification service and correction procedures for blacklists?  If not, I think there is a need for such a service so I'll help in putting one together.
