Title: New Reason to avoid


1
New Reason to avoid unsubscribe links
  • Spammers are beginning to sneak special code into
    opt-out link that turns the spam recipient's
    computer into a zombie that can be used to send
    out more spam.
  • By clicking on an unsubscribe link you have the
    risk of downloading a Trojan that turns your
    computer into an open proxy for sending spam.
  • Other variations place keystroke loggers on
    victims computers, allowing the spammer to
    collect personal information (including passwords
    and financial account data).

  • How Does this make you feel?
  • Since the opt-out links are required by law, is
    it safe to say that the law has backfired?
