Resources for Fighting Spam

January 9, 2015

No one is immune to the annoyances and dangers of spam — also known as junk email or unsolicited bulk email (See Wikipedia).
The dangers loom in the form of email scams that prompt the reader to follow links to phishing websites—sites that are convincing yet fraudulent websites attempting to acquire sensitive identity information, like user names and passwords to institution account. Fighting spam through warnings and education can prepare users to identify the potential pestilence that looms. I’m posting these reference resources partly for my own sake, and to help shed light on the topic for you too.
