Politicians In The US And UK Agree To
Talk Once A Year About Spam

Politicians In The US And UK Agree To
Talk Once A Year About Spam 03/24/2005 08:31 PM
A group of spam hating politicians in the UK have teamed up with a group of spam hating politicians in the US to... well, let's see, it doesn't really say what they're going to do. At best, it looks like they'll get together once a year (either here or there) to talk about spam. Well, that's a relief. A once yearly cross-Atlantic gathering of politicians who hate spam. It's not like spammers are likely to make adjustments or anything to whatever weak piece of legislation comes out -- assuming any legislation does come out of this.

Anatomy of comment spam script vendors:
Emil Kacperski, Eugene Blagodarny and
corporate helpers 09/18/2004 07:10 AM
One of the curious things about blog comment spam is how asymmetrical it is. When I've had my site spammed, it feels like a desecration. If you have ever had your house broken into, it is a similar feeling. It is as if someone has come into your house while you were out, defecated on the floor, ransacked through all your belongings, and made off with your valuables. I have read some pretty impressive rants from people after they've been hammered, and they seem to have a similar impression. It feels like a personal affront. But it isn't. It's just a script that somebody wrote that connects to a database they have populated. Spammers never see our rants and raves about their activities. But who does write and sell these scripts? I have always been curious about what kind of scum writes and sells what must be increasingly sophisticated scripts, so when I noticed that my weblog was being hit repeatedly by a strange entry, www.php-soft.com, I wondered what it was and checked out the site. It turns out to be a vendor of comment spamming software. From the sales pitch at http://www.php-soft.com/advanced_blog_guestbook_messages_board_submitt er (not using proper hyperlinks for what I hope are obvious reasons): This is the perfect unique tool that quickly submits your information to any messages board/guestbook/blog or any other web script using the most effective technique and offers you fantastic opportunities for your web site promotion, increasing the link popularity of your web project. The most effective method of increasing the link popularity of your site is to post to online messages boards, guestbooks and blogs (e.g. LiveJournal). I am very glad that we can introduce our messages boards/blogs/guestbooks submission software to you.... We have the biggest database of discussion boards, guestbooks, blogs with high page rank. Our advanced submitter is a set of php scripts which can easily be installed on your home PC or your hosting server. This software is useful for any kind of data submission. You can fill the database with information using the following methods: manually one by one, from the list copied into textarea, from the textual file, gathering URLs using Google search engine (enter any script name [e.g. addpost.cgi] into URLs management tool and let our software add all such scripts URLs to your database with one button click), generate URLs list using special rules (regular expressions). You can use...

Yahoo Releases Anti-Spam Technique For
Upcoming Standards Battle 05/18/2004 06:16 PM
One thing that you can guarantee in the technology world is that there will never be a shortage of standards battles. While AOL is supporting Sender Policy Framework (SPF) as their way of authenticating email senders, Microsoft is pushing their "caller ID" method of combating spoofed spam and Yahoo has been pushing ahead with their own DomainKeys proposal. Today, Yahoo is making some news by announcing that they're releasing the technology as a standard. A standard for whom? So far, it seems like it's just Yahoo. Are we going to reach a point where our mail servers are going to need to separately check DomainKeys, SPF, email Caller ID, some giant useless "do not spam" database, and twenty other anti-spam systems before they'll be able to forward mail? Is it really a "standard" if everyone has their own?

Finance Spam Passing Drug Spam While
Porn Spam Is Washed Up 05/24/2004 05:37 PM
The latest study on spam trends appears to show that financial spam is outpacing pharmaceutical spam - though, honestly, so much of both is coming out that it's really hard to imagine that this matters at all. Meanwhile, it seems that porn spam is increasingly less interesting to spammers as the numbers have been on a noticeable decline for quite some time. No matter what, though, it appears that CAN-SPAM has done absolutely nothing to slow down the amount of spam sent.

I am now getting 2,000+ spams a day. There are 1,440 minutes in a day The rate of incoming spams is therefore getting close to the interval it takes me to check my email and dispose of a single spam: By the time I'm done checking, more spam has arrived. That is the point at which the spam droplets form a continuous stream. And that is the point at which no interval of my life will ever be spam-free again....

It’s a myth that the information technology (IT) requirements of emerging and midsize businesses are simpler than those of large enterprises. Virtually every day, we interact with the technology and business leaders of midsize companies whose IT demands not only rival the requirements of much larger companies, but in many cases exceed them.Fortunately, emerging and midsize businesses can resolve the dilemma of updating their outmoded IT infrastructure without massive one-time investments in technology. New technologies, such as Microsoft® .NET, enable companies to leverage previous investments in technology while step-by-step integrating their business systems to enable an efficient, cost-effective, and flexible solution to driving and managing growth.
