Why do we get spam emails
You know what I'm talking about those annoying emails that you get from people you have never heard of, that try to sell you stuff you don't need. If everybody hates spam, why do we get it ? Well not everybody hates spam the fact is many people buy the things they see in spam emails. Spamming is illegal, and the authorities are getting better at catching spammers. Many times, spamming is done by professional crime organizations. Spamming is big business, and generates millions of dollars each year. In order to get around authorities, spammers will rent zombie networks out to do their spamming for them. Are you on a zombie network? A zombie network is simply a network of computers that have all been hijacked and can be controlled remotely. If you are on a zombie network your computer can be used against you to infect other friends, families or customers on your mailing list. A spammer can use that network to send all their spam emails for them, so that authorities cannot trace the true source of the spam. It's like using someone else to do the dirty work. The spammer walks away clean, and the computer owner can actually be held accountable for what is done with their computer. There have been cases where innocent people have been convicted of having illegal child pornography hidden on their computer without even knowing about it! Porn, like spam, is a big business, and zombie networks can just as easily be used to hide pornographic images as it can be used to send out spam emails. Spam emails can also be a symptom of a much bigger problem. If you have spyware or other malware on your computer, the spammer can actually look over your Internet surfing habits, and can target spam to you based on that information. Privacy is a big issue, and if you are using an inferior source of Internet protection, your spam could very well be a sign of a much larger problem. Obviously, there is a lot of dangers involved with using the Internet. However, it doesn't have to be that way. We live in a day and age of uncertainty. If you are completely protected from all forms of ID theft, hacking, viruses, spyware, and phishing it just makes life easier. More importantly, you will breathe easier knowing that you are protected. Don't let a hacker ruin your good name and cause you undo harm.
