OT – Oh! - Please, please come the day ….. When trusted computing is finally allowed to becomes the norm, and I won’t have to faff about! – spending half the morning (Grrrhh) with my e/mails moving crappy spam around.
It’s a shame y’know guys, but don’t need this/have the time – who knows maybe I’m beginning to loose it
(OK OK and so I only have the freebie Outlook filter presently, my bad )
……and now today jeeze just look at this lot - latest August spam figures………….
Mail volumes increased dramatically during the month of August, eclipsing even the record highs established last December, with spam making up 89% of all email. The increase was largely caused by the huge number of fake greeting card and YouTube video emails with links to malicious websites sent by the Storm worm, as well as large amount of PDF spam also distributed by Storm. At the end of the month, Storm had ceased to distrubute PDF spam, most likely due to a lower response rate from users for this type of spam
Trojans accounted for over 78% of all newly discovered malware in August, followed by Adware and Spyware that made up almost 14%. 97% of all new malware came in the form of Windows Executable files
An average of 264,133 new zombies were detected daily in August, many associated with the new infections caused by the Storm worm
An average of 11,906 total new malicious websites were detected daily in August. Over 50,000 of them had been used by the Storm worm to host the Mpack exploit toolkit that it uses to infect victim machines
The lists just go on………. ad nauseum……..
