Spam refers to any unwanted or unauthorized commercial messages. Spam may violate individuals' privacy or other personal rights. Spam often overloads network traffic, wastes individuals' time, lowers productivity and quality of life, and limits the trustworthiness of Internet businesses. As the use of mobile messaging services and social networking services both on mobile communication networks and on the Internet increase, newer and more complex types of IT applications and services are often used as new means of spam. In this research, the characteristics and impact of new and future forms of spam, and anti-spam related policies and regulations are surveyed. To improve the effectiveness of anti-spam policies and regulations in Korea, adding a definition of spam in the law, changing policies to focus on the 'type of services' rather on the medium of transmission, and redefining the scope of 'commercial purposes' in Korean law are suggested.

Spam Message has been Causing widespread damages on the Internet. One source of the problems is rooted from an anonymously posted message in the bulletin board in Internet communities. This type of the Spam messages tries to advertise products, to harm other's reputation, to deliver religious messages and so on. In this paper we present the Spam message filtering using the Bayesian approach. In order to increase usefulness of the Spam filter in the bulletin board in Internet communities, we made the Spam filter which can divide the Spam message into six categories such as advertisement, pornography, abuse, religion and other. The test conducted against messages posted on the popular web sites.

The number of electronic mail(E-mail) has been increased dramatically as a result of expanding internet and information technology. Although there are many conveniences of E-mail in the bright side, some serious problems occur because of E-mail in its dark side. One of the problems is spam-mail which is unsolicited mail and also called bulk mail. This paper presents a set of patterns of spam-mail occurrences within a week using the correspondence analysis. The correspondence analysis is an exploratory multivariate technique that converts data into a particular type of graphical display in which the rows and columns are depicted as points. One of the meaningful patterns is a great increment of adult and phishing related spam-mails at weekends so any spam-mail filters should be designed to cope with this pattern.

Today, opinion reviews on the Web are often used as a means of information exchange. As the importance of opinion reviews continues to grow, the number of issues for opinion spam also increases. Even though many research studies on detecting spam reviews have been conducted, some limitations of gold-standard datasets hinder research. Therefore, we introduce a new dataset called "Paraphrased Opinion Spam (POS)" that contains a new type of review spam that imitates truthful reviews. We have noticed that spammers refer to existing truthful reviews to fabricate spam reviews. To create such a seemingly truthful review spam dataset, we asked task participants to paraphrase truthful reviews to create a new deceptive review. The experiment results show that classifying our POS dataset is more difficult than classifying the existing spam datasets since the reviews in our dataset more linguistically look like truthful reviews. Also, training volume has been found to be an important factor for classification model performance.

The Short Message Service (SMS) is one of the most popular communication tools in the world. As the cost of SMS decreases, SMS spam has been growing largely. Even though there are many existing studies on SMS spam detection, researchers commonly have limitation collecting users' private SMS contents. They need to gather the information related to social network as well as personal SMS due to the intelligent spammers being aware of the social networks. Therefore, this paper proposes the Social network Building Scheme for SMS spam detection (SBSS) algorithm that builds synthetic social network dataset realistically, without the collection of private information. Also, we analyze and categorize the attack types of SMS spam to build more complete and realistic social network dataset including SMS spam.

It has good features for social networking with friends SNS is maintained. However, various enterprises, individuals invading the inconvenience spammers have exposure to a number of users to tweet spam. The study was conducted in the existing research on these spam tweets. However, the results showed a more accurate classification and detection is difficult because of the lack of precision and different causes. In this paper, we describe how to classify the characteristics of spammers, classification criteria. Also has a link rate and difference between followers and following, these features were present classification criteria for spammers account. This experiment was performed according to the criteria. Randomized trial of spam and non-spam accounts were selected and account type was conducted according to the criteria 68% of the link ratio of spam accounts. Followers / Following ratio was 27581.5. Non-spam accounts was 6.12%. Followers / Following ratio was 1.26.

As the use of the internet increases, the distribution of spam mail has also vastly increased. The email's main use was for the exchange of information, however, currently it is being more frequently used for advertisement and malware distribution. This is a serious problem because it consumes a large amount of the limited internet resources. Furthermore, an extensive amount of computer, network and human resources are consumed to prevent it. As a result much research is being done to prevent and filter spam. Currently, research is being done on readable sentences which do not use proper grammar. This type of spam can not be classified by previous vocabulary analysis or document classification methods. This paper proposes a method to filter spam by using the subject of the mail and N-GRAM for indexing and Bayesian, SVM algorithms for classification.

There are various ways to be infected with malicious code due to the increase in Internet use, such as the web, affiliate programs, P2P, illegal software, DNS alteration of routers, word processor vulnerabilities, spam mail, and storage media. In addition, malicious codes are produced more easily than before through automatic generation programs due to evasion technology according to the advancement of production technology. In the past, the propagation speed of malicious code was slow, the infection route was limited, and the propagation technology had a simple structure, so there was enough time to study countermeasures. However, current malicious codes have become very intelligent by absorbing technologies such as concealment technology and self-transformation, causing problems such as distributed denial of service attacks (DDoS), spam sending and personal information theft. The existing malware detection technique, which is a signature detection technique, cannot respond when it encounters a malicious code whose attack pattern has been changed or a new type of malicious code. In addition, it is difficult to perform static analysis on malicious code to which code obfuscation, encryption, and packing techniques are applied to make malicious code analysis difficult. Therefore, in this paper, a method to detect malicious code through dynamic analysis and static analysis using Trojan-type Downloader/Dropper malicious code was showed, and suggested to malicious code detection and countermeasures.
