Master Archival Data Storage
You’ve seen it. Management operating on data overloads; stacks of printed data falling off the desk, overflowing the file cabinets, and running down the stairs of the office data storage rooms. What to do with the data? Critical information is lost. Knowledge that could be of great help to the general population is unavailable, growing moldy and dusty on some executive’s desk waiting for approval. Or worse, created in mega bundles of bits and lost in compound directories with the wrong label, stored for infinity in a malfunctioning system of neglect.

What is phishing? Phishing involves the sending of an e-mail falsely claiming to be from an established legitimate enterprise in an attempt to scam the user into surrendering private information that will be used for identity theft. The e-mail directs the user to visit a Web site where they are asked to update personal information, such as passwords and credit card, social security number, and bank account numbers. It is relatively simple to make a Web site look like the legitimate site by mimicking the HTML code or by framing parts of the pages.

Many people fall victim to email scams designed to steal log-in information for accounts such as PayPal, eBay, online banking accounts and more. Scammers send emails to every address they can obtain so you may receive these even if you do not have an account with the targeted enterprise, site or company.

The scam emails keep getting better and better in their appearance. You may receive an email that pretends to be sent from eBay. The email will have all the appropriate logos and will often be formatted in the same way. The links within the email can even appear to be directed to legitimate pages within eBay.

For example, e-mails supposedly from eBay claim that the user's account is about to be suspended unless they clicked on the provided link and updated the credit card information.

Recently I received an email claiming to be from PayPal. It appears to be a receipt for an eBay purchase that I know nothing about. The subject line is "Receipt for Your Payment"

The body of the email included a description of the ebay item that had allegedly been purchased using my PayPal account. Below that was a notice that said:

Note: If you haven't authorized this charge, click the link below to dispute transaction and get full refund

I wonder how many people receiving a similar email would quickly click on the link provided in order to contest the charges.

OK, I know to be cautious with this sort of thing so I did not click on anything in the email. Instead I went to PayPal on my own and logged in. Guess what? There is no record there of the purchase!

Then I started looking at the formatting of the email. When I viewed the properties of the message I found that it was actually from a takethatfanclub.com sender and NOT paypal. Just because it says that it is from such and such.com at the top of the email doesn't always mean that is who it is from. The "From" name in an email can easily be altered.

This email was formatted more like a received payment PayPal email than it was an actual receipt. I looked at all of my other emails titled "Receipt for your payment" and not one of the others was formatted like this one.

An Introduction To Spam Filters
Using spam filters is another very effective way of combating spam or junk mail. These programs use some keywords like ‘guaranteed’, ‘free’, etc and block any email with those words in them.
