On Monday, the San Bruno, Calif.-based vendor of anti-spam suites, made an announcement of the IronPort Web Reputation technology, which is claimed to rate nearly 45 aspects of Web sites connected to an e-mail message to evaluate if a message could be spam.
Patrick Peterson, vice president of technology at IronPort said,
The latest technology comes in response to new tactics used by spammers.’ “Historically, spam filters have looked at content. Now spammers are removing all the meaningful content and often times they will just have a link,” he said in an interview.
Besides all this, there are progressively more complicated attacks that makes use of e-mail and are beleaguered at particular users rather than of a mass mail. These are nasty, unsafe attacks that are included with a connection and defraud the user into clicking via a possibly pernicious Web site that invades users via their browser.
