_/10 points
What's for breakfast? Spam! (2 points each)
Many people, after they've brewed their morning coffee and turned on their computer, face an inbox
full of spam. Getting rid of spam is increasingly cutting into workers' productivity, and spammers are
finding new ways to get past the filters set up to block their messages.
Spammers use tricks to avoid being trapped by e-mail spam filters, or programs designed to block
spam. The first clue to a spam e-mail is the name of the sender. Names like Briskie Meltdowns seem
human to spam filters, even if they seem fake to people. Also, fake e-mail addresses such as
[email protected] show that the sender simply typed letters and numbers at random to
generate the address. In addition, the subject line is usually something that seems like a phrase, but it
doesn't make sense, such as "Innocent playtimes courage!"
Experts offer this advice for avoiding spam: Open a free e-mail account just for spam. Use this
address whenever you are unsure about the privacy policy of the website you are using. Use your
personal e-mail account only for companies you trust. Never click on a link in a spam e-mail message
that reads, "Click here to unsubscribe." This only confirms to the spammers that your e-mail address
is valid.

True False
1. Spammers use real names to avoid being trapped by filters. 0 0
2. Spammers use randomly generated e-mail addresses. 0 0
3. The subject line of spam seems logical, but it isn't. 0 0
4. To manage spam, use your personal e-mail address. 0 0
5. Clicking links in spam confirms your e-mail address. 0 0
