Paper how to combat spam 1. Introduction Undoubtedly, every internet user encounters daily some form of the so called phenomenon ‘spam’. Interestingly, the term ‘spam’ is an acronym for “spiced” and “ham” and refers originally to tinned meat products. It was used in a scene from the popular British Monty Python series, showing a crowd screaming “Spam, Spam, Spam!!!” Hence, spam became a synonym of unwanted intrusive message that is usually flooding and preventing a smooth conversation. Today, first thing that comes to mind when referring to spam are the annoying undesirable commercial or junk emails that are arriving in great amounts in our email boxes. However, ‘spam’ may also be used in regard to sms, mms, faxes, Bluetooth messages, blog comments, marketing phone calls, chain-letters and even papers delivered in our tangible mail boxes. There is a lack of synchronized legal definition of the term and it differs between different jurisdictions, but generally accepted and most employed in the present paper is the definition given by the Washington State Supreme Court. The court describes spam as any unsolicited bulk commercial or non-commercial email. But why is ‘spam’ such a prominent issue for internet users? Firstly, it is causing considerable damages to end users, companies and ISPs (Internet Service Provider). Secondly, it is a large-scale problem worldwide that is proven to be difficult to combat. Presently, the email accounts existing as reported by The Radicati Group, Inc (A technological Market Research Firm) are 3, 3 billion, but are expected to increase with an average annual growth rate of 6% in the next couple of years. One reason email usage is likely to increase is because of an overall increase of Internet usa... ... middle of paper ... ...

Ookal geven de vermelde feiten je een eerdere negatieve beeld over e-mails, deze beeld mag zeker niet veralgemeend worden. Het internet bied een unieke kans om via e-mail informatie te delen, in contact te blijven etc. Je moet weten dat niet alle ongewenste e-mails spam is. Als je wenst zo weinig mogelijk spam te krijgen, kan je best gebruik maken van een e-maildienst die een hoop spam tegenhouden zoals Gmail. Als je eventueel nog af en toe spam berichten krijgt, moet je het negeren en direct verwijderen en voor de rest gewoon altijd je gezond verstand gebruiken.

Privacy has been a thorny issue especially with the modern cyber crime increase. Every time you go online, you get exposed. You cease to enjoy privacy. The marketers take advantage of this. For example, there are sites you log into online and before you do anything you are prompted to agree to their terms which mostly people agree without reading those terms. You expose your computer to cookies and all manner of online stuff that “steal” your information. Later when you go your email, you find a lot of promotional emails and start wondering when did you sign up for such kind of stuff. This behavior is totally unethical because the sad is that these emails are system generated and when they are directed to you, they fill your inbox without your consent. When the marketers use your email without your concern to channel and ad to you, then that qualifies that act to be unethical even if the ad might benefit you in future.

The internet has taken the world so far in its short commercial life; the future of the internet provides limitless possibilities of a much different future. The internet was created to test new networking technologies developed to eventually aid the military. The Arpanet, advanced research projects agency network, became operational in 1968 after it was conceived by Leanard Roberts (Watrall, T101, 2/2). Ever since the Arpanet began in 1968, it has grown exponentially in the number of connected users. Traffic and host population became too big for the network to maintain, due to the killer application known as email created in 1972.

In recent times we might consider that the right for privacy in one of our major achievements in our society. Unfortunately the same does not apply for the Internet. The Internet once considered a place for free information exchange and sharing, has the potential has becoming the biggest threat to its users. The commercialization of the Internet is one of the major reasons why the chances of a compromise of our privacy have increased. Customer profiling, address trading or simple lack of care with sensitive customer information are just some of the threats that this commercialization has bought to our ‘free’ Internet. Another reason being that with the increase of threats there is a regular change in technology to counter these threats. These changes make it harder for the already overstrained users to cope with the ever changing technology.
The Internet is a connection of computers across the world through a network. Its origin dates back to the 1960s when the U.S Military used it for research, but it became more available to the public from the late 1980s. The World Wide Web was created in 1989 and browsers began appearing in the early 1990s. Over the last 24 years, the Internet has enabled people to shop, play, do research, communicate and conduct business online. It has also become cheaper and faster in performing different tasks. As much as the Internet has done immeasurable good to society, it has also dominated people’s lives and brought with it an array of cybercrimes. According to Nicholas Carr in his book The Shallows: How the Internet is Changing the Way we Think, Read and Remember (Carr, 2010). He debates on whether the Internet has done more harm than good. People use the Internet daily to exchange accurate information and constantly personal data such as credit cards, passwords and Social Security numbers are travelling through the network from one computer to another. With security measures put in place on the Internet, personal information remains confidential. But unfortunately, criminals have adapted to innovations in technology, and today, more people are increasingly becoming victims of cybercrime. The Internet has had profound effects on the public, both positive and negative. In this paper we will examine how access to personal information has led to an increase in online and offline crimes. The essay will particularly focus on ecommerce and hacking.
Electronic Mail, a means of communication that is growing at a very rapid rate. In this paper, I will write about introduction of e-mail, the advantage and disadvantage of e-mail, mailing lists, sending an e-mail message, sending attachments, e-mail improvement, and security features. Introduction of Electronic Mail Electronic mail (E-mail) has become popular and easy way of communication in this decade. E-mail is a method of sending and receiving document or message from one person to another. E-mail is not only replacement for postal mail and telephones, and also it is a new medium. E-mail send plain text, images, audio, spreadsheets, computer programs can attach to an e-mail message. Using the e-mail, you must have a computer on a network. The computer must require a modem and phone line. Sending and receiving e-mail needs an e-mail program. Every e-mail user requires an e-mail address. This e-mail address is similar to a postal address. E-mail address is written as username@domain, for instance, PCLEE@juno.com. The username is used for sending and receiving e-mail.
Today, society is affected by the many advances in technology. These advances affect almost every person in the world. One of the prevalent advances in technology was the invention and mass use of the Internet. Today more than ever, people around the world use the Internet to support their personal and business tasks on a daily basis. The Internet is a portal into vast amounts of information concerning almost every aspect of life including education, business, politics, entertainment, social networking, and world security. (idebate.com) Although the Internet has become a key resource in developing the world, the mass use of Internet has highlighted a major problem, privacy and the protection of individual, corporate, and even government security . The argument over whether or not the Internet should be controlled by the government has developed into a controversial issue in almost every country in the world.
Internet technology is accelerating the rate of globalization. Email, in particular, is now one of the fastest ways for us to communicate with each other, and to do business, making our world much smaller and more immediate. This same technology that can enhance our lives and accelerates the pace of global change can also destroy our personal privacy at the same rate.
