Anti-Spam Firm Teaches Spammers How To Spam With Jokes
from the that's-just-great dept
It's not entirely clear what's going on here, but in what appears to be something of a press release from an anti-spam firm, they basically explain a trick for getting spam through a spam filter -- attach a dumb joke to it. Of course, this isn't a new idea and has been done for quite some time. So, it's not clear why this anti-spam firm suddenly feels the need to explain the technique (which probably doesn't work that well anyway) to more spammers.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
