Beware of the Newest Threat - PDF Spam

Sponsored Post

I’m a bit removed from the spam hassle, since I get almost zero spam in my Gmail inbox. But I know it remains a problem for corporations and businesses of all sizes. You need to run your own email solutions, but that means you also need a good spam solution. Tough balance.

The spam fight keeps getting harder because spammers evolve. There is so much money to be made, so it’s in their interest to change tactics and get around even the best spam traps. Hence, the rise of PDF spam.

It’s become somewhat elementary to filter spam text and images from emails. But now spammers are embedding spam images into PDF files. These puppies hit your email server and are harder to detect. They’re not the usual suspect email, since most PDFs are legit. That’s why you need to update your spam program.

BorderWare’s InterceptEngine might be a good solution for your company. It is working on this new problem and finding ways to cut the spam from even PDF attachments. Check out their product and see if it might be right for you.
