Free Email is an accessory for hacker to attack job hunters

Due to the economic resection ,there are more and more unemployed people looking for jobs on line and it gives the hackers a perfect chance to defraud those job hunters. Cellopoint Global Anti-spam Center (CGAC) has found and intercepted a huge amount of spear phishing messages which contain messages like “Thank you for applying xx position. After reviewing your resume, you are not qualified for this position. We decide to send your resume back to you…”This email seems normal with the link of the company website. If you open the attached file, it would not be your resume that you are looking for. It would be Trojan Horse. It is impossible for the job hunters to memorize all the companies' names and jobs that they applied for. This is the reason that job hunters are the victims of these false emails.

Cellopoint Global Anti-spam Center (CGAC) thought that these spear phishing attacks are showing the new change of the social behaviors. Besides those Botnet computers which have been attacked by Trojan, hackers also use those free web mail servers as the step stone to attack regular user. For the service provider, this not only slows down the efficiency of the mail server but also becomes the black list which would effect the basic function of sending or receiving mails. If the service provider wants to promote a better email service by charging their customers, the black list would be the biggest problem for their future business plan. The Executive Yuan of the Republic of China has already passed the new law of “the management of sending business email” which says that the email service provider must prevent the spam of business email. If the email service provider can not forbid the spam, they will receive the find until they do something to stop it.

Cellpoint email security and management solution also called Email UTM. It got the first place of the Ites Best Choice of “Anti-spam” in 2008 by Institute for Information Industry. From Email UTM, it included CGAC online guarding service about anti-spam, virus email, anti-spy, phising, anti-Relay, anti-Dos, anti-Hacking to secure the safety of email transferring, Digital Signature to solve the problem of counterfeit email. Cellopoint Policy Center can classify the email into different categories between business email and regular email. It provides IP Pool management. This can avoid the regular email IP to be listed in the spam blacklist. It can forward, delete, quarantine, notice the inspect or secure copy…ect. This can increase the efficiency of the system dramatically for all the clients include the service providers, businesses and organizations.
