11/10/2003 11:39 PMAdam Kalsey says it: Now spammers have turned their attention to
weblogs and comment forms. In order to increase search engine rankings
you are posting advertisements to our Web pages. What you failed to
understand is that bloggers are smarter, better connected, and more
technologically savvy than the average email user. We control the
medium that you are now attempting to exploit. You've picked a fight

06/11/2004 12:55 PMIt 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.

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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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'.
-
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.
