"They are at it again. Although they are big troublemakers for anyone in my profession, I have started to appreciate the perseverance and diligence of spamsters, albeit at creating trouble in the cyberspace.

This time around spamsters have come up with a new spam tactic using hyperlinks to Macromedia Flash (.
swf) files that automatically redirect to a spammer site. In the initial outbreak, the spammer site was of the ""Canadian Pharmacy"" type. However, the same tactic can be used for any type of spam, or even redirection to malware sites.

This is another addition to their tireless attempts at bypassing the traditional content-based filters. For all we know, it may be a trial run before the menacing, malware-laden attacks using Macromedia Flash files seen floating all over the web.

Cyberoam’s Anti-Spam solution with RPDTM (Recurrent Pattern Detection) Technology is based on the fundamental nature of spam and malware and detects all types of spam based on their distribution pattern as soon as they emerge."
