I recommend you read this article to learn the tricks http://programmazione.it/index.php?entity=eitem&idItem=44034 to avoid being flooded by spam as a result of publishing your email address on its website.

After the article on 3 tips to avoid falling into the phishing scam today with concrete examples of mail arrived in my inbox will show you how to recognize spam.

First for every email that arrives in your mail box, take 1 minute to analyze the message, Do not get caught up quickly and above all, follow my advice

1) The first example of spam / phishing comes to me from maps with subject: transfer statement nr 319515/0318

• address of the sender is already Portale_titolare@iol.org and then you see that has nothing to do because there CartaSi @ iol.org and then nobody in the family has accounts CartaSI
• Finally in this link to services online CartaSi.it if you step on the mouse to see the Internet address pointing to: http://www.la23cas.com/server.cartasi.it that has nothing to do with the site CartaSI

So we can conclude that this misguided attempt to phishing was unmasked!

2) The second example has as its object: Published online statement ever CartaSi

• E-mail sender: Portale_titolare@aol.com, as above
• Link: above www.cartasi if you move one sees that the real address is: http://csc1.org/server.portale.it, as above

Finally, none of us has an account then CartaSI…This was also unmasked

3) Concerns raised and as I have an account Bancoposta this time I could fall into it !!! We analyze the source of the email:

1. From part: BancoPosta seems that comes from poste.it instead comes from Poste.lt first error that is LT then unmasked
2. Click link: http://bancopostaonline.poste.it.robinlangley.com/images/img/concor.php?muc30=marcobruni14@virgilio.it&postalbuld=lamuc&cumar=dist&X3tRsuDT536SGtrSK620=Musta seems to be a URL that points bancopostaonline.poste.it correct post office and instead to look good after the address then there robinlangley.com so this too tempting to phishing though slightly raffindato the first two has been unmasked

4) The last example is still obviously Bancoposta criminals know that most online bank accounts are spread across the Internet banking services and has as its object CartaSI: Credited temporarily blocked so maybe one cares and it falls, but to go to analyze the source of the email:

1. From the sender is: Poste.it SPA it could be just perchè@poste.it is correct, this happens because I can create an email in which I can write what I want in the sender's important is the recipient address is correct
2. Let us go forward in the analysis, the link it says log in to your account and passing the address shown above http://match.jo / _ / https / www.poste.it / post office / online / _private / BPOL / CARTEPRE / index.html and see that the initial http://match.jo / _ / is fake (instead of https://bancopostaonline.poste.it /) so although this is perhaps the most sophisticated of the four has been exposed.

I conclude this second installment on spam / phishing hoping that these 4 examples are more useful not to fall into the trap of these criminals and keep our online account safe from thieves.

Microsoft Outlook is the big brother of Outlook Express, which is the default mail program free in millions of PCs.

Outlook is part of the Microsoft Office suite of course fee. It comes with a lot of features in more than Outlook Express, contact management, Calendar, activities and support for Microsoft Exchange Server to synchronize and share information.

Although I paid some serious errors found in Microsoft Outlook such as the failure to send email attachments, Outlook Express also has serious problems in managing a large amount of mail online, has happened many times to my clients losing thousands of emails suddenly.

Probably, Outlook Express is a tool good enough for those who do not expect much of their software. But what if you want more without having to spend money? What are the alternatives free and free to Outlook?

Thunderbird

Whats?

Mozilla Thunderbird is a mail client and news reader free, open-source and multi-platform for all major operating systems including the current, but not only, Windows, Linux and Macintosh. Offers several advantages over other mail clients, including the classification of spam. Supports various addons, which enhance its functionality.

Come Outlook, Thunderbird supports POP, IMAP e SMTP. Using the wizard Account, You can also subscribe to RSS News & Blogs, create accounts for newsgroups, and connect your Gmail account.

What makes it a better alternative to Outlook?

Thunderbird is available only for Windows, but also for Mac OS X and Linux. Localized versions of Thunderbird, there are dozens of languages most common.

Thunderbird is much better than Outlook, if you enjoy customizing your email client. There is an extensive collection of themes and extensions available.

Will exit the new version Thunderbird 3.0 very important because it was a long time since I came out a. Among the new: a new system of searching the database of messages that exploits a new algorithm, able to allow users to quickly and intuitively traced to a particular email specifying only a few parameters and use the TAB (cards) nell’interfaccia, to facilitate navigation between folders and then open and other improvements are on the termination of the mail and the account configuration.

Gmail

Whats?

Gmail or Google Mail is Google's free webmail.

Although it is only an online application that resides only on the Web, Gmail is a powerful tool that is unrivaled even in the most common email programs. Gmail supports POP and IMAP and is fully integrated with the Google Apps suite.

What makes it better than Outlook?

The clear advantage of a client by e-mail is its global availability. Wherever you go, Any computer using, your email is already there.

Gmail offers a complex selection of settings and functions. Gmail optionally fill all the emails that belong to a conversation in a single thread. Within the settings you can create filters, thanks to Google Mail Labs experimental features can have, manage multiple mailboxes, and change graphics.

Continuing on issues relating to email (still the major tool on the Internet to communicate) another scourge in recent years is the phishing that means in information (“spillaggio (sensitive data)”, in Italian).

How it works?

Messages arrive in your email inbox that perfectly mimic graphic and logo of institutional sites such as BancoPosta, the user is tricked into revealing personal information and led, as account number, Credit card number, identification codes, etc...

How to defend? Here are 3 tips to follow:

1. First is the post that banks will never ask you by e-mail sensitive information of the customer then you already understand that this is a message spam garbage for us to fall into their network phishing;
2. When you click on the link that is in the mail will take you to a page with a graphic identical to the original Internet address that will never be the real one as the postal bancopostaonline.poste.it but to a similar such bancopostaonline.postal.it, then check that the end address is written in your bwroser poste.it;
3. After checking the Internet address of your bank is the right, Never write on other sites to access their data on-line account such as user, password and check code;

What do you think?

According to data from Symantec Phishing is growing, with a survey in the month of October, an increase of 17% of such attacks on September, with increases in particular also in the attempts of fraud in the Italian language through the deployment of ever larger toolkit can create phishing messages.

Even with regard to spam we're certainly in good shape, as junk mail reached 87% of all email messages circulated. The key highlight of this month is the increase in spam originating from APJ (Asia, Pacific and Japan) with the pari percentuale 23%, and South America with 22%, which resulted in a decrease of spam originated in Europe (28%) and North America (20%).

In my email accounts I managed to kill spam with these 4 advice:

1. Do not post on forums or on Web sites, your email address with a link “milk:”, because the use of special spider smpammer, engines that software that scours the web, to go in search of e-mails flooded with unsolicited advertising;
2. publish your address through this site: http://scr.im/icare that requires a manual operation to find human;
3. you can use JavaScript language to mask your email address with a small program as explained Alessio Luffarelli in this article;
4. create an image file in png or jpeg that has your email address;

What is your experience?

Tried to apply it and let me know if they worked.
