Stupid Spam Messages
I have never in my life been hit with so much spam as I have in the past few months. The spam blockers are doing a great job of catching a majority of the email, but here at work they are having some major issues. The latest emails are able to get through because they are using much more logic to create the individual email. They are also going so far as to CAPTCHA the text. Check out this little beauty.

Notice how the text that would be caught by the spam filters is wiggled. This is so the actual image attachment can’t be read by OCR. This technique was employed to stop spamming. Pretty ironic really.
I am getting about 10-15 of these a day. I really don’t need the penny stock updates. =) Thanks though.
