FEATURE ARTICLE:
Spam
Poses Threat to Privacy
Workplace privacy will be casualty in war on spam
If you thought the problem of junk e-mail was bad enough now then
it is about to get a whole lot worse.
"You ain't seen nothing yet,"
said Satish Ramachandran, chief executive of Mirapoint, a company which
provides software to deal with the menace of unwanted commercial e-mails.
One of the first casualties of the fight against spam in the
workplace would be privacy, said Mr Ramachandran.
"Privacy is going to go and people will just have to get used
to it."
Surveillance
Speaking to BBC News Online this week, Mr Ramachandran warned that
spammers were already opening a new front of attack in the workplace and, down
the line, would exploit the multimedia potential of next generation mobile
phone networks.
Filtering companies will live or die on their ability to handle
spam and not stop innocent mail
Mark Sunner, MessageLabs
Add to this the fact that spammers will increasingly take advantage
of wireless networks and users could expect an exponential rise in the amount
of junk in their in-boxes, he said.
For the lucky few, the workplace is still a relatively spam-free
zone, but filtering firm MessageLabs reports that the problem is on the rise
with one in seven business e-mails now identified as spam.
MessageLabs estimates that around 10% of
the working day is
spent dealing with unsolicited e-mail, which in turn is having a big impact on
business productivity.
The answer, according to Mr Ramachandran, will be more surveillance
in the workplace and even tighter controls on what goes through the corporate
e-mail network.
Mirapoint's software employs a point system for classifying
e-mails, identifying up to 25 characteristics of spam and blocking the messages
with the highest scores.
Cops and robbers
Mark Sunner, chief technology officer with MessageLabs, believes a
balance must be struck between employee needs and the fight against spam.
In order to achieve that balance, filtering software will have to
get a whole lot smarter.
"It is not hard to stop spam but it means being aggressive and
the flipside to this is that you could be stopping real mail, which could be
important, getting through," said Mr Sunner.
"Filtering companies will live or die on their ability to
handle spam and not stop innocent mail," he added.
As the tools to deal with spam become increasingly sophisticated so
too do the spammers.
"It is a game of cops and robbers," admitted Mr
Ramachandran.
It is not just in the workplace that the fight against spam will
get tougher.
Web-based e-mail accounts such as Hotmail will increasingly
encourage users to have pre-approved accounts, in which they listed all the
individuals they were prepared to receive messages
from, said Mr Ramachandran.
Hotmail is already offering such a service, although only around
10% of its 110 million customers have taken it up.
Enemy within
Employees can be biggest threat
In the home too, filters would become commonplace, said Mr
Ramachandran, especially as parents respond to the threat of pornographic
pictures that he believes will inevitably become a by-product of multi-media
enabled mobile phones.
Fighting spam will not entirely eliminate the communication
headaches for businesses, as a raft of high-profile "misuse of e-mail"
cases highlight the fact that the enemy often lurks within an organisation.
Barriers on what employees can and cannot do will
never eradicate the problem.
Websites such as internalmemo.com are proving highly popular on the
net, offering an outlet for disgruntled employees to make previously private
company e-mails public.
