I'm excited! Yesterday I finished fine-tuning the Project Honey Pot install and today I caught an email address harvester. Now I feel like I'm really fighting back in the great spam war!
These are today's very impressive statistics from the project:
- Spam Trap Addresses Monitored: 3,121,660
- Spam Trap Monitoring Capability: 191,555,000,000
- Spam Servers Identified: 2,811,454
- IPs Monitored: 3,000,386
- Harvesters Identified: 16,709
- Dictionary Attackers: 93,914
- Comment Spammers: 4,634
Project Honey Pot has thousands of members around the world working together to track and stop email harvesters. So far I've only caught one, but it was one unknown to the project previously, so that makes me feel kinda special. To track harvesters and other malicious robots visiting your own website, sign up with Project Honey Pot today. It's fast, free, easy, and one of the ways you can help make the Internet a better, safer place.
