Interesting articles on e-mail blunders, spam research, and anti-phishing education
Further to my presentation on fighting spam (at the October MUUG meeting), I just read an IT World Canada article called "Top 10 e-mail blunders of 2008"... http://www.itworldcanada.com/Pages/Docbase/ViewArticle.aspx?id=idgml-0a1c74c... Following a link about backscatter messages in that article, I came across an article from last year (from the same site), about some spam research projects that are in the works... http://www.itworldcanada.com/Pages/Docbase/ViewArticle.aspx?title=&ID=idgml-... This article had numerous links to other interesting articles, among them this one on anti-phishing education (from a sister publication)... http://www.networkworld.com/news/2007/100807-real-antiphishing-education.htm... Finally, this article mentioned an interesting project at CMU, where they developed an online game called Anti-Phishing Phil as a teaching tool. Here's a link to the game, if you want to get to the goods directly... http://cups.cs.cmu.edu/antiphishing_phil/ -- Gilbert E.
