Top local spammers named
The Internet Service Providers’ Association (ISPA) has recently announced its plans to fight spam which includes a periodic ISPA Hall of Shame aimed at exposing the country’s biggest spammers.
“ISPA, as the representative of the vast majority of ISPs in South Africa, is releasing this report to assist South African consumers to effectively manage local unsolicited bulk email (which ISPA terms "spam"),” the ISP association said.
The first hall of shame was announced at this year’s iWeek conference, and the following South African spammers were identified in the report:
1. Database Development
2. Dynamic Seminars
3. ILLUDER.com Marketing
4. James Munro
5. The Peer Group
