Are Spam Zombies Haunting Your Network? Take This Test!
With Halloween season in full swing, it seems perfectly natural to have zombies on the mind. But while you may enjoy the treat of having one appear on your doorstep, candy bag in hand, it’s not nearly as entertaining when they turn tricks in your corporate network.
Spam zombies (what’s this?) created by increasingly sophisticated spammers/hackers can wreak major havoc by turning your computers into virtual spamming machines. And you often don’t know about it until it’s too late. These little guys pose a significant threat to your domain, and can possibly get you blacklisted.
Pretty spooky, huh?
PineApp, one of RADirect’s vendor partners for corporate email security, has created a neat little tool called the Zombie Detection System (ZDS) that allows you to test your network IP addresses for the presence of such zombies that could be generating spam messages and using your network to send them.
It’s quick, easy, and free, so try it out here.
And Have a Happy Halloween!
