SPAM¶

What it is

The mass distribution of unsolicited messages or advertising to addresses which can be easily found on the Internet through things like social networking sites, company websites and personal blogs.

What it can do

• Create a burden for communications service providers and businesses to filter electronic messages.
• Phish for your information by tricking you into following links or entering details with too-goodto-be-true offers and promotions.
• Provide a vehicle for malware, scams, fraud and threats to your privacy.
