Email Address Harvesting: How Spammers Reap What You Sow

«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤

It's no wonder. According to research by the Federal Trade
Commission (FTC) and several law enforcement partners, it's
harvest time for spammers. But, the consumer protection agency
says, the good news for computer users is that they can minimize
the amount of spam they receive.

According to the investigators, spammers typically use computer
programs that search public areas on the Internet to compile,
capture, or otherwise "harvest" lists of email addresses from web
pages, newsgroups, chat rooms, and other online destinations.

To find out which fields spammers consider most fertile for
harvesting, investigators "seeded" 175 different locations on the
Internet with 250 new, undercover email addresses. The locations
included web pages, newsgroups, chat rooms, message boards, and
online directories for web pages, instant message users, domain
names, resumes, and dating services. During the six weeks after
the postings, the accounts received 3,349 spam emails. The
investigators found that:

86 percent of the addresses posted to web pages received spam. It
didn't matter where the addresses were posted on the page: if the
address had the "@" sign in it, it drew spam.

Chat rooms are virtual magnets for harvesting software. One
address posted in a chat room received spam nine minutes after it
first was used. Addresses posted in other areas on the Internet
received less spam, the investigators found. Half the addresses
posted on free personal web page services received spam, as did
27 percent of addresses posted to message boards and nine percent
of addresses listed in email service directories. Addresses
posted in instant message service user profiles, "Whois" domain
name registries, online resume services, and online dating
services did not receive any spam during the six weeks of the
investigation.

In almost all instances, the investigators found, the spam
received was not related to the address used. As a result,
consumers who use email are exposed to a variety of spam -
including objectionable messages - no matter the source of the
address. Some email addresses posted to children's newsgroups
received a large amount of spam promoting adult web sites,
pitching work-at-home schemes, and even advertising
hallucinogenic drugs.

Slowing the Email Harvest
The investigators indicate that email address harvesting usually
is automated, because spam can hit the addresses soon after they
are used publicly the first time; the spam was not targeted; and
some addresses were picked up off web pages even when they
weren't visible to the eye. Still, they say, consumers can
protect their email addresses from harvesting programs. Here's
how:

1. Consider "masking" your email address. Masking involves
putting a word or phrase in your email address so that it will
trick a harvesting computer program, but not a person. For
example, if your email address is "johndoe@myisp.com," you could
mask it as "johndoe@spamaway.myisp.com." Be aware that some
newsgroup services or message boards won't allow you to mask your
email address and some harvesting programs may be able to pick
out common masks.

2. Use a separate screen name for chatting. If you use chat
rooms, use a screen name that's not associated with your email
address. Consider using the screen name only for online chat.

3. Set up disposable addresses. Decide if you want to use two
email addresses - one for personal messages and one for posting
in public. Consider using a disposable email address service that
creates separate email addresses that forwards to your permanent
account. If one of the disposable addresses begins to receive
spam, you can shut it off without affecting your permanent
address.

4. Use two email accounts. If you work for a business or
organization that wants to receive email from the public,
consider creating separate accounts or disposable email addresses
for that purpose, rather than having an employee's address posted
in public.

5. Use a unique email address, containing both letters and
numbers. Your choice of email address may affect the amount of
spam you receive because some spammers use "dictionary attacks"
to email many possible name combinations at large ISPs or email
services, hoping to find a valid address.

Meanwhile, what can you do with the spam in your in-box? Report
it, making sure that you include the full email header. The
information in the header makes it possible to follow up on your
complaint. Send your spam to:

Your ISP's abuse desk. Often the email address is
abuse@yourispname.com or postmaster@yourispname.com. Forwarding
your spam to your ISP lets them know about the spam problem on
their system and helps them to stop it. Include a copy of the
spam, along with the full email header, and at the top of the
message, state that you're complaining about being spammed.

The sender's ISP. Most ISPs want to cut off spammers who abuse
their system. Include a copy of the message and header
information and state that you're complaining about spam. The FTC
works for the consumer to prevent fraudulent, deceptive and
unfair business practices in the marketplace and to provide
information to help consumers spot, stop and avoid them. To file

I don’t know if you have this on your list of tips or not, but recently someone
pointed out to me some good things to do to keep computers in top running condition.
If you surf a lot, about once a week do a “tune-up” on the computer. This deletes
unwanted files from the hard drive(s).
To perform this procedure, go to start then run, type "tuneup"
(without the quotes) in the box that appears, and click OK..
Respectfully,
Kae Osborn

that certainly is a good tip. It can be time consuming to run this,
and I recommend that you either do it when you don't plan to be on the computer for awhile,
or better yet just before you go to bed in the evening.
One thing, since "defrag" will be running, be sure to turn off your screen saver
as that can interrupt the program. I also recommend you turn off your monitor
after you have started to run "tuneup". This will prevent your screen being burned
with the defrag image since the screen saver is turned off.
