BLOG SPAM

BLAM : Short for Blog Spam. Why spam? E-mail spam is way different from blam, (gawa ito ng mga makukulit na Blogger.) While ang Email SPAM, it contains lots of harmful viruses that cause severe damage to your PC. Yep! It can take days to restore your system and files - this can be staggering. x(

It was when I thought it was a virus, well it's still a carrier.

SPAMBOTS?? -er I know bots from counter strike. :)

No. They are the people who post links to sites. Common links are those pornography. Yung bigla nalang maga-appear sa screen mo, also the postings of messages on random users' profiles to a spam account's channel page, along with enticing text and images. Tsk tsk..

But there are lots of spamAlert na nag prevent ng junkmails. Bakit ba biglang umuso? I just wonder, like if you type SPAM on google and there are lots of choices and definitions. Wala bang google janitor? haha or any cleaner sa mga search engines. That those un-useful news at kung ano ano pang nonsense eh..should be deleted na. Teka? Bakit pa ba ko marunong.

Unsolicited Bulk, is a set of spam that involves nearly identical messages sent to numerous recipients by blogs or e-mails.

Spammers, collect e-mail addresses from chatrooms, websites, customer lists, newsgroups, and viruses which harvest users' address books, and are sold to other spammers. They also use a practice known as "e-mail appending" or "epending" in which they use known information about their target (such as a postal address) to search for the target's e-mail address. Much of spam is sent to invalid e-mail addresses. Spam averages 78% of all e-mail sent.

Eh how do they operate? Why waste time spamming.

In order to send spam, spammers need to obtain the e-mail addresses of the intended recipients. To this end, both spammers themselves and list merchants gather huge lists of potential e-mail addresses. Since spam is, by definition, unsolicited, this address harvesting is done without the consent (and sometimes against the expressed will) of the address owners. As a consequence, spammers' address lists are inaccurate. A single spam run may target tens of millions of possible addresses — many of which are invalid, malformed, or undeliverable.

Sometimes, if the sent spam is "bounced" or sent back to the sender by various programs that eliminate spam, or if the recipient clicks on an unsubscribe link, that may cause that e-mail address to be marked as "valid", which is interpreted by the spammer as "send me more".
