e-Mail and Content Filtering
What is SPAM?
- SPAM can be loosely defined as “Unsolicited Commercial
e-mail” or “ an illicit collection of personal data used in
a massive commercial mailing operation”. (CNL, UCE)
- What is PHISHING
Phishing is a technique used to gain personal information
for purposes of identity theft, using fraudulent e-mail
messages that appear to come from legitimate businesses.
These authentic looking messages are designed to fool
recipients into divulging personal data such as account
numbers, passwords, credit card numbers, and social security
numbers.(COMPUTERWORLD)
