Why Doesn't Google Stop Adsense Spam
by clpereira April 29, 2008 12:40 PM PDT: I can't even begin to tell you how many image spams we block that are directly linked to Google adsense.

They should stop these too.; Like this Reply to this comment

Phishing is going to be a problem
by Leria April 29, 2008 1:08 PM PDT: Until we have some way to sign e-mails so that they cannot be forged, and have a listing of the sites used by large merchants and banks that the anti-spam filters of e-mail software compares the links to and if they reference Symantec but don't have a link to a known Symantec site or have a link to a site that is not known to be a Symantec site..... they are automatically deleted.

I know this sounds harsh, but this is the ONLY way that phishing is going to be stopped in my lifetime.; Like this Reply to this comment
