This is my fourth entry on spam in the last three days (1, 2, 3). Now, Phil Ringnalda reports another kind of spam: comment spamming. In the post comments, Simon Willison points to yet another spamming practice: BBS spamming.
The problem is escalating, although it’s a matter of perspective: the Internet grows and spam grows along. However, much like worms, it may only be a matter of time until we see massive, coordinated spam attacks. The big question is whether we can developed remedies before such attacks happen.
