Project roots out source of spam | | 2008/05/12 | | A project which involves the collaboration of business, government, law enforcement and security professionals as well as consumers, claims to have got to the root of the spam problem cluttering up the inboxes of business on a global scale.
The KnujOn research group, which has been collecting spam samples since 2005, has identified a concentration of the spam problem, with 90 per cent of the illicit websites tracked registered by one of just 20 providers.
KnujOn said in a statement: "Most providers are playing by the rules. The ones that are not adhering to policy are wreaking the most havoc across the web.
"Some of these providers merely have poor verification or auditing, others may be active partners to illicit activity."
The group will present its findings in the US today (Monday, May 12th) at the High Technology Crime Investigation Association Ohio Spring Training Conference.
