Harvesting Spam
This was the major threat last month. That's where spammers send plain emails, to many addresses under an email domain. Unlike other spam, the messages themselves aren't dangerous. The spammer is hoping that a few people will "Unsubscribe" or "Opt-Out", thereby making their email addresses known. Then the spammer can send more spam, phishing scams, etc. and even sell the verified addresses.
SpamStopsHere's 24/7/365 live threat analysis and unique design makes it possible to block threats like this faster and more completely.
SpamStopsHere is database-driven, like the antivirus software you trust, and is constantly updated by our live threat analysts. There's no learning period or tuning. You don't even have to manage whitlelists or blacklists.
