How to Block Tagged Mail - The Latest E-Mail Spammer in Town

Tagged.com describe themselves as a "teen social networking destination on the web" but it is currently the largest source of email spam in our inbox.

Every other minute, there's a new email message from Tagged.com with a subject "[Your Friend Name] has tagged you! :)".

There's a link at the bottom of the email message that says "Click to unsubscribe" but even when you unsubscribe, "TaggedMail Invites" will continue to flood your inbox.

The reason is simple - while you can easily import your Outlook address book and GMail contacts into Facebook, the reverse path is closed.

PhishTank Detects Phishing Websites by Digg Style Voting

OpenDNS, a free service that helps anyone surf the Internet faster with a simple DNS tweak , will announce PhishTank today. PhishTank is a free public database of phishing URLs where anyone can submit their phishes via email or through the website. The submissions are verified by the other community members who then vote for the suspected site. This is such a neat idea as sites can be categorized just based on user feedback without even having to manually verify each and every submission. PhishTank employs the "feedback loop" mechanism where users will be kept updated with the status' of the phish they submit either via email alerts or a personal RSS feed . Naturally, once the PhishTank databases grows, other sites can harness the data using open APIs which will remain free. OpenDNS would also use this data to improve their existing phishing detection algorithms which are already very impressive and efficient. PhishTank | PhishTank Blog [Thanks Allison] Related: Google
