Cellopoint targets at PDF SPAM variation

Stats from Cellopoint global anti-spam Center (CGAC) shows the original form of PDF-spam had rapidly developed in different ways. The virus will mutate, so will spam. These changes still break through Anti-SPAM software and plague receivers. How to response to the latest PDF Spam variation and intercept them has become the important indicator among Anti-SPAM vendors.

During the first half of this year, PDF spam takes image spam’s place. Spammers change their tactics to various social engineering methods in a bid to get through anti-spam filter. When many anti-spam vendors claim that they can resolve Image SPAM, Spammers turn to deliver spam in PDF form. They even try to pack PDF spam as ZIP. Traditionally, collecting semantics or classification database is a temporary approach; it neither catches up with spam nor meets the performance requirements. This only makes the IT staffs completely exhausted.

The spam source, content and format changes frequently, but the behavior is similar, said by the spokesman of Cellopoint Labs. Whether the form of PDF variation or the recent outbreak of ZIP Spam bombs, all could be summed up special signs and had their own characteristic rules contributing ICA database. Adopting Cellopoint 7 * 24 * 365 full-time monitoring and automatic update services will effectively stop spam variant at 100 per cent and effectively protect the enterprise from spam attacks.
