Editor's Notes
Hi there, you are more than welcome here today. My name is Jamie Sullivan and i’m here with my colleges Rick and Alan.
Today we will be providing you with a presentation on electronic mail and control of spam.
So to outline this presentation, well it is sectioned into three individual pieces the presentation itself a project video and finally a q + a. section one is in relation to the fundamentals of electronic mail and control of spamming this will hopefully educated you all on spam, hacking and protection section two is out project video we put together and the final segment is the q and a for any questions you may have.
During our research we discovered that are two types of spam out there.
You have your food spam and email spam which is actually the one we will cover in this report. So basically email spam is just unsolicited “junk” email
Spam evolved quick a lot since the neolithic times
Writing on the walls left by the cavemen
on modern days we have electronic spam and non-electronic spam
The arpanet (now modern internet) was created during the cold war period to survive a nuclear attack.
Since its a decentralised network you cannot shut it down
and that is why spammers use it to relay messages
today we have modern spam based on email, internet messaging
Mobile devices, social media and online gaming platforms
some advice if you dont want to be a spammer just follow these recommendations
