This is called spoofing and can cause you all sorts of headaches. The spam protection you get with MxToolBox will stop this spam from reaching your computer so that you only get legitimate email from these companies. They have the use of a variety of anti-spam technologies that is able to recognize a message from a legitimate company and one that is from a spam site. However one of the loopholes spammers can use is created when a personal whitelist is used by the computer user. Many email programs will allow the user to whitelist an email address or a domain name which allows all the email that has been whitelisted to get straight through to the computer. This can open the door to the Whitelist Exploit.

The number of complaints made to the Data Protection Commissioner in relation to spamming increased from 66 in 2005 to 538 last year. ffenders were previously prosecuted in the District Court where the maximum fine was €3000. This figure has now been increased to €5000. Mr Ryan said spam was a serious threat to the internet posing security risks and that such communications were a serious invasion of privacy.

“Their tailor-made messages – a method called spear-phishing – are coming in at an alarming rate attacking personal and business accounts alike and shows no sign of easing up. “While Spear-phishing according to the report currently represents only about one percent of all phishing campaigns it is expected to become more prevalent because the higher “jackpots” criminals score when they succeed in obtaining personal data from specially targeted victims is worth the time and resources it takes to make messages seem credible. With security suites and antivirus software most consumers are armed with some kind of spam protection however well-targeted messages often slip under the radar undetected. Some of the major trends for IT companies to watch for in the new year include insider threats data loss and remote working issues. Intensified by major cutbacks during the economic downturn insider threats include negligent or disgruntled employees who threaten corporate security making better collaboration between IT HR and other lines of business crucial to mitigate threats. Data loss whether through carelessness hacker breaches or from insiders is a growing problem that can lead to grave financial losses causing companies to turn to technology education and clear well-enforced data security policies to make compliance easier and reduce incidents. While network technology advances have made remote working increase productivity Web-based tools mobile devices virtualization “cloud computing” and similar technologies will prove a challenge for security personnel.
