Spammers Using SHY Character to Hide Malicious URLs | threatpost

I didn't even know there was such a thing as a "soft hyphen" or its HTML equivalent "­". Spammers are using this to get around some Spam filters.

I always liked Cisco's Ironport appliance as a Spam filer because it uses a real time updated database of spam IP addresses in a block list, rather than trying to block content based solely on content rule based logic.

Glad you are back and we are able to comment again!I think your reeadrs would greatly benefit from learning about the Arthritis Foundation's Let's Talk RA progra. It provides education on how to be a better patient and advocate for one's own health – resulting in a more accurate diagnosis and more effective treatment. The program includes a communication kit with step-by-step doctor discussion tips and a symptom tracker that patients can use with their rheumatologists, as well as town hall meetings, educational podcasts and more – all at no charge. The program is designed for those who are newly diagnosed, but includes valuable information for all RA patients.If you’d like to receive a copy of the kit or additional tips on the steps to being a better patient, please contact me at . I hope you are feeling well! Your music is great. Thanks!
