Shady spammers getting more creative with links

It’s dawning on me that the shady emailers have no intention of dialing back their malicious messages, so I might just have to ramp of the amount of warnings I post here. Take that “Mr. Rasim Hassan of Burkina Faso”!!! By the way, no offense to any actual Rasim Hassans out there. It just so […]

No, I’m not talking about a fresh set of rims for your lowriding hooptie. News around the water cooler (as well as on our very own front page), is that our friends from just up the road have rolled out a new browser option called Chrome. Not sure I know what went into the name […]
Yahoo! Lottery: What’s wrong with this picture? (a lot)

When it comes to spotting phishing emails I feel that it’s a really easy thing to do. But then I think about the number of messages I get from users asking about our “lottery” and I am reminded that not everyone has had the same degree of experience. Having worked at PayPal, eBay, and now […]

Guess who’s back … back again! I have indeed returned from my recent travels abroad, and though I am now quite sunburned (and considerably lighter in the wallet) I’m pleased to see that the blog is right where I left it. It’s also nice to see (and hear) the response from some of the user […]
Where are the YMailers - Round 3
Here’s my last post from this round of user submitted photos. The overall response was awesome and I’d like to thank everyone who submitted … but if you didn’t send anything in by now that doesn’t mean you still can’t. I’m extending an open invitation to all users to send in any interesting […]

For Round 2 of our user submitted “YMailing” images we have a couple of pics that come to us all the way from India.
Abhilash tells me that he utilizes GPRS (not sure if that’s strictly through a mobile device or if he tethers it to his laptop as a modem…but either way is good) to […]

As promised, you will not be lacking in blog posts just because I am traveling. Comment responses…now that’s another story. I’ll get cracking on those as soon as I return.
In the meantime, it’s time for user submitted pictures! You may recall that a few weeks back I was inspired by the Where […]

Once again we’d like to thank everyone who submitted questions, and who stopped by to participate, during last week’s Anti-Spam Workshop with Mark (transcript here). We received a lot of great questions, and Mark enjoyed the opportunity to answer questions, as well as hear directly from the users. One of the more interesting questions lead […]
Where’s Matt? He’s with Liam (and me, and Jerry, and more)!

Believe it or not this was a total coincidence. Shorty after I posted about having seen the Where the Hell is Matt? video (and thus requesting your photo submissions showcasing where you use Yahoo! Mail) we were informed by the Yodel editor that Matt was going to make a speaking appearance at our main campus.
What […]
