Well another April 1st came and went. I'm usually apprehensive when April approaches for there is mass hysteria concerning the security of computing devices. This year the threat carries the name 'Conficker' or 'Downadup.' Although nothing of notable significance triggered on April first, the industry is finding that the conficker threat is still growing. It is mutating and adapting. Conficker.E is the latest variety discovered and I'll let you guess as to its malicious intent... that's right! Spamming.

Are you serious? Come on! When will I get a break?!

Only a couple of days ago Microsoft released their newest Security Intelligence Report where they estimated a little over (a whopping) 97% of all email traffic is spam. Hmmmmm. What was the Conficker infestation estimation? Something like 10 to 13 million computers? Hmmmm. Are they spamming?! Ouch. I hope this number doesn't continue to grow.

Please be advised, my friends:

This is important stuff guys. Please keep up!

Let us worry about the spam. Whatever this nasty worm can think of mutating into next; it won't beat our AI engine. Learn, evolve, infect, spam..... Just try it. I dare you. Whatever time it takes you to develop a new spamming technique - it will merely take the Interceptor a millisecond to reject you.

I won't let another April approach bother me any longer. I get no breach in protocol. Protocol breaches will be auto-magically, but politely, shown the Ether-door.
