Global spam volume grew from 31 billion a day in October 2005 to 61 billion a day in October 2006, almost a 100% increase. The number of spam messages in November 2006 will increase to 78 billion a day, up 38 billion from a year earlier. In addition, the United States Retail Federation released a number of reported that more than half of consumers will be during the festival to do online shopping. IronPort recommends the following "four to six don't" during the festive period to avoid spam and other cyber-threat attacks. (1) Do not open any spam messages at any time. Most spam messages contain programs that detect how many people, when and whether to open a message. Generally suspicious mail is often spam. (2) Do not reply to the best way to handle unknown or suspicious mail is to delete, or use your spam filter for processing. If you reply to these spam emails and even ask them to remove your email address from their list, you make them more convinced that it is a valid address and that your mailbox will receive more junk mail. If you are unsure of whether a company's collection of your personal information is legal, you can contact the company directly or open the company's Web page to view it. (3) Do not click if you click on the link in the spam (even if just some unsubscribe link), you can make your computer infected with spyware or viruses. Therefore, you should immediately delete these messages directly. If a message looks like it's coming from your bank, credit card company, ebay, Pat Web and other avenues that look legit in detail-don't click. They've got your account, so it's no longer necessary to confirm and verify that you can delete the email. If you have questions about emails from a more familiar organization, please call. (4) Do not buy spam because they can be used for profit, spammers can send millions of of spam almost without a penny, even if only one of the 1 million people bought something, they earned it. Never buy from spammers and tell your friends and family to do the same, no matter how good the spam message is. (5) Do not use your main mailbox if you have your main mailbox everywhere on the Internet, you are much more likely to receive spam. When you are dealing with online things, please try to use a temporary mailbox or important mailbox. (6) Do not believe anything you see during the Christmas period, the number of notified emails and replies is very common. The fraudster obtains the real email address through these informed emails. Several rounds down, many such emails will have hundreds of real email addresses. Thus, those who care about the "missing girl" or the "desperate refugees" will find themselves not only fooled, but also a large number of spammers. (7) Please use temporary credit card or one-time credit card if you have any doubt, please use ProA time or a one-time credit card, many of the main banks offer this type of credit card to avoid abuse. (8) Please check with security officials when you decide to join a discussion group, fill in your personal information and leave your email address, be careful. Verify the security and confidentiality of the site to ensure that your email address will not be made available to other agencies or organizations. (9) Please make sure that your server or company has taken spam, virus and spyware protection. Spam often contains viruses, so it is necessary to have anti-spam settings and anti-virus measures. Spam is also frequently accompanied by address links to Spyware and rogue software, confirming that your ISP service provider or your company's IT department has enough security to prevent these threats. Spam, viruses, and web-linked rogue software protection are of great significance. (10) Please trust your intuition if it looks like spam, then it probably is, delete it. The IronPort threat Processing center confirms the massive growth of spam in the global context. A large part comes from the introduction of new technologies and more active online behavior during Christmas and the New Year. In addition, the drop in spam capture rate is due to the inability of a signed anti-spam solution to be upgraded synchronously with the technology that fraudsters quickly update. For example, we know that the picture of Spam, from October 2005 accounted for all the number of spam increased by 4.8% to October 2006 25%, an increase of 421%.
