1
00:00:00,199 --> 00:00:06,319
ah the grilled spam sandwich one of life's Little Pleasures at least

2
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:10,679
According to some people anyway but while that weird canned meat product is

3
00:00:08,559 --> 00:00:16,000
beloved by millions worldwide something that's not so lovable is email spam

4
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:22,080
which for years has clogged people's inboxes worse than real spam will clog

5
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:24,439
your arteries so why exactly is Spam so

6
00:00:22,080 --> 00:00:29,160
prolific and what have we done to try and fight it well it probably isn't

7
00:00:27,119 --> 00:00:34,360
surprising that people found ways to take advantage AG of a means of sending

8
00:00:32,279 --> 00:00:38,239
the same message to tons of people electronically long before the

9
00:00:36,160 --> 00:00:42,079
mainstream internet was invented the first spam message was actually sent all

10
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:48,480
the way back in 1978 over the old arpanet a US military

11
00:00:46,199 --> 00:00:54,399
Network that was a predecessor to the modern internet although the sender was

12
00:00:51,480 --> 00:00:59,480
promptly rebuked that technique sadly doesn't work today to stop spam spam

13
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:04,239
messages continued to proliferate through new news groups users who

14
00:01:02,399 --> 00:01:08,920
sometimes people say named these sorts of messages spam after a famous Monty

15
00:01:06,320 --> 00:01:15,520
Python sketch but it really exploded in the mid to late 1990s as more and more

16
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:17,280
people started using email anyone who's

17
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:22,479
ever sent a message to more than one person before knows how easy quick and

18
00:01:20,159 --> 00:01:27,920
cheap it is to send the same message to a large number of people so easy in fact

19
00:01:25,759 --> 00:01:33,200
that at one point it was estimated that over 90%

20
00:01:30,320 --> 00:01:37,479
of email traffic was spam although more recent estimates have indicated that the

21
00:01:35,439 --> 00:01:43,479
number is now closer to 50% still a ton of email and that's not

22
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:48,640
counting the spam that is popping up on places like say for example social

23
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:54,560
networking sites dating sites video sites and the infamous comment sections

24
00:01:51,719 --> 00:02:00,320
of the aforementioned places but even though sending lots of emails is easy

25
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:06,360
how the heck do spammers get their hands on so many people's email addresses

26
00:02:03,759 --> 00:02:10,920
often spammers will actually just test millions of random addresses that

27
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:16,720
contain dictionary words or common names and numbers to see which ones work or

28
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:21,440
they can use Bots to crawl the public web and look for email addresses that

29
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:25,560
people have posted in various places say for example on a forum dubious

30
00:02:23,519 --> 00:02:30,760
advertisements can also lead people to malicious websites that convince them to

31
00:02:27,519 --> 00:02:33,360
sign up for Stuff using an email address

32
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:36,879
which is then harvested after a spammer compiles a large list of working email

33
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:41,159
addresses they can actually make matters worse by not only emailing all those

34
00:02:39,159 --> 00:02:45,440
people but by selling the list to other spammers and then suddenly you've got a

35
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:50,200
deluge of emails asking you to buy pills to enlarge a certain part of your

36
00:02:46,959 --> 00:02:53,920
Anatomy say for example your nose but

37
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:56,720
lonus I just don't get why these people

38
00:02:53,920 --> 00:03:03,840
send out spam at all doesn't everyone just delete spam and move on to the next

39
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:05,680
real email well almost everyone does the

40
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:11,720
response rate for spam messages is indeed extremely low so spammers use

41
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:14,040
tools such as dedicated servers and Bot

42
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:20,519
Nets of infected computers to send out as many pieces of spam as they possibly

43
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:22,480
can so even if only one in a million

44
00:03:20,519 --> 00:03:27,360
people is gullible enough to believe they can buy a real Rolex for the price

45
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:32,720
of a cheeseburger it still leads to a pretty good siiz profit for the scammers

46
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:38,519
back to remember they're super cheap to send out so then how have we tried to

47
00:03:35,519 --> 00:03:41,480
fight back against this crap valan of

48
00:03:38,519 --> 00:03:46,280
junk mail well most of the popular email services today employ some kind of spam

49
00:03:43,959 --> 00:03:50,879
filter which scans emails for suspicious words formatting and deceptive headers

50
00:03:49,159 --> 00:03:56,519
the part of the email containing address information and checks emails against a

51
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:58,920
known black list of spam addresses to

52
00:03:56,519 --> 00:04:03,599
keep that stuff from reaching your inbox numerous IES have also tried to

53
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:08,120
legislate against spammers as well and although these efforts haven't been

54
00:04:05,799 --> 00:04:14,079
extraordinarily effective several more notorious spammers have served prison

55
00:04:10,519 --> 00:04:16,359
time for defrauding people but with that

56
00:04:14,079 --> 00:04:20,040
said perhaps the best thing you can do is watch who you're giving your email

57
00:04:18,239 --> 00:04:25,040
address to unless that is to say you enjoy getting business propositions from

58
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:27,040
