Spam and Social Engineering

Perhaps this is the scariest trend of all - mixing current events, emotional issues, high profile stories in with spam creates one of the most compelling reasons to seek out effective spam blocker technologies.

Here's a recent example, yesterday a malicious email duped over 1 Million users into clicking on a malicious link in spam emails - the text and topic - the capture of Bin Laden. Can you think of a topic that is a more effective way to capture attention?

What used to be a clear line has been crossed several times in the last months making it more difficult to quickly identify what is spam and what is legitimate email. This will only get worse - its now time to seek out technical spam blocker solutions.
