The third category of spammers is called Abstract — Phishing attackers misrepresent the true sender and phishers. Phishing attackers misrepresent the true sender and steal consumers' personal identity data and financial account steal the consumers' personal identity data and financial credentials. Though phishers try to counterfeit the websites in account credentials. These spammers send spoofed emails and the content, they do not have access to all the fields in the lead consumers to counterfeit websites designed to trick email header. Our classification method is based on the recipients into divulging financial data such as credit card information provided in the email header (rather than the numbers, account usernames, passwords and social security content of the email). We believe the phisher cannot modify numbers. By hijacking brand names of banks, e-retailers and the complete header, though he can forge certain fields.

  • Efficient Spam Filtering System Based on Smart Cooperative Subjective and Objective Methods*
    Int. J. Communications, Network and System Sciences, 2013, 6, 88-99 http://dx.doi.org/10.4236/ijcns.2013.62011 Published Online February 2013 (http://www.scirp.org/journal/ijcns) Efficient Spam Filtering System Based on Smart * Cooperative Subjective and Objective Methods Samir A. Elsagheer Mohamed1,2 1College of Computer, Qassim University, Qassim, KSA 2Electrical Engineering Department, Faculty of Engineering, Aswan University, Aswan, Egypt Email: [email protected], [email protected] Received September 17, 2012; revised January 16, 2013; accepted January 25, 2013 ABSTRACT Most of the spam filtering techniques are based on objective methods such as the content filtering and DNS/reverse DNS checks. Recently, some cooperative subjective spam filtering techniques are proposed. Objective methods suffer from the false positive and false negative classification. Objective methods based on the content filtering are time con- suming and resource demanding. They are inaccurate and require continuous update to cope with newly invented spammer’s tricks. On the other side, the existing subjective proposals have some drawbacks like the attacks from mali- cious users that make them unreliable and the privacy. In this paper, we propose an efficient spam filtering system that is based on a smart cooperative subjective technique for content filtering in addition to the fastest and the most reliable non-content-based objective methods. The system combines several applications. The first is a web-based system that we have developed based on the proposed technique. A server application having extra features suitable for the enter- prises and closed work groups is a second part of the system. Another part is a set of standard web services that allow any existing email server or email client to interact with the system.
