Dear SBCA Reader:

The statistics don't lie. Spam, along with its nefarious relatives, continues virtually unabated and despite the passage of the CAN-SPAM Act in early 2004. In fact, the nuisance is growing.

Some of the side effects of spam can be far more damaging than just having to delete an unwanted offer of prescription drugs or low mortgage rates. A specific type of spam, called phishing, can deliberately trick users out of their personal or financial information. In addition, spam continues to be the preferred way to deliver and duplicate damaging viruses and worms.

Our goal is to help you minimize the damage and even to help protect you against spam through technology and user education.

As always, we're eager to hear what you think about this issue and to receive suggestions for topics you would like to see covered in the future. Please send an email to Newsletter Comments.

Thank You,
