Microsoft Impact on Spamming Industry
Posted in Technology by SriPriya on November 14th, 2006 I am facing a lot of problems with SPAM and so do most of us face with the unsolicited e-mail. I feel this SPAM needs a serious notice because it is a spreading virus that blocks networks which is the key for business which is directly proportional to the waste of time and the resources.
Here I feel to mention about Microsoft’s intelligent and brave action against Scott Richter who was a spammer has created a sensation in the minds of the spammers since they have to pay Hugh money. This Microsoft’s case created a hot sensation in the minds of the spammers and made them understand that everyone has to adhere to the federal and state anti-spam laws in contradictory to which they have to pay a huge amount.
It is a known fact that the spammers cannot be taken out by simple fix in a day or two but this action of Microsoft is really a great step towards spamming people. Microsoft found the computer and the compromised IP address which was the source of spammers for sending spam email having other people’s sender name, false server name, misleading subject heading which are all illegal.
This legal action taken action the spammer by Microsoft is a very drastic move in spamming industry. This action of Microsoft tells us that in order to avoid spammers the action of identifying the spammers must be taken from private corporate like Microsoft. After the identification of spammers the legal action will be taken by government bodies. Microsoft made a pave way for reducing spam by introducing many anti-spam products to protect mainly email which is an essential communication in business the highlight of their finding is the introduction of safety bar on the hotmail interface. Since it is a known fact that a single company cannot put an end to the spamming industry many companies started working to battle spammers which is a major break out for spamming Industry say for example yahoo has also started to stop spam by their product called yahoo Domain Keys.
Since all organization has already started to work in the direction of Microsoft which clearly depicted that Spamming Industry is at it downfall and will be no where in due course of time and I as all others would be relieved of this spamming problem completely.
