During the first 7 days, MailProve had detected messages from e-marketers to send out spam message partly telling their support of the Unsolicited Electronic Messages Ordinance together with their price list and special promotion.

According to that e-marketer, they claimed their message was not spam and in fact, that was their way to show their full support of the Unsolicited Electronic Messages Ordinance. It seem the enforce agency will have a lot of work to do. Perhaps heavy fine will make those e-marketer understand what they are doing and how their messages had annoyed to email user on Internet.

This will be a real challenge to law enforcement agency and wait to see how it goes.

The new Unsolicited Electronic Messages Ordinance, to be published in the Gazette on Friday (June 1) will be implemented in two phases to regulate the sending of commercial electronic messages.

The first phase of the ordinance, which will come into effect from June 1, would cover the use of unscrupulous techniques to reach out to more recipients, such as the supply of list of electronic addresses harvested from Internet webpages, or the actual use of address harvesting software to capture email addresses for sending commercial electronic messages without the consent of recipients, as well as other techniques such as 'dictionary attacks' or 'brute force attacks' commonly used by spammers.

The second phase of the ordinance, which will come into effect by the end of 2007, will establish the rules for sending commercial electronic messages. For example, the following would be prohibited:

* Sending pre-recorded voice messages to telephones with calling line identification withheld;
* Sending commercial electronic messages without providing a way for recipients to opt out of receiving further messages;
* Continuing to send commercial electronic messages to a recipient despite his/her unsubscribe request; or
* Sending commercial electronic messages to an electronic address listed in the do-not-call registers, unless the consent of the registered users of those electronic addresses has been obtained.

HONG KONG , JANUARY 25, 2005 - F5 Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ: FFIV), the global leader in Application Traffic Management, and MailProve Ltd., the Asian anti-spam and anti-phishing service provider, today announced the world’s first iControl solution that will help organizations to protect their customers against “phishing” attacks: the use of fictitious emails and Web sites to facilitate online fraud and identity theft.Bringing together F5’s acclaimed BIG-IP® traffic management system and MailProve’s Super Blacklist technology, the two partners have created the powerful iControl solution that prevents phishing attacks at the network level. The F5-MailProve solution provides real-time detection and prevention of phishing attacks, protecting organizations from inbound and out-bound phishing attempts.

For in-bound attacks by phishing emails, users are protected by the MailProve Super Blacklist, a phishing email blacklist. For out-bound phishing traffic, for example, malware that hijacks browsing to fraudulent Web sites, F5’s BIG-IP updated with the MailProve Super Blacklist will warn users when they attempt to access such Web sites.

“As spamming techniques become ever more sophisticated, phishing attacks are unfortunately becoming more and more common. F5 is pleased to partner with the Asian anti-spam leader, MailProve, in the fight against phishing,” said Linda Hui, managing director of F5 Networks Hong Kong. “Together, we are helping financial institutions, Internet Service Providers, e-commerce companies and other organizations targeted by online fraudsters to prevent the financial loss, customer dissatisfaction and erosion of brand equity that these malicious attacks cause,” “F5’s state-of-the-art traffic management solution BIG-IP is the only device to combine ease of use and industry-leading performance to deliver critical security features,” explained Jeffrey Vong, chief executive officer, MailProve. “MailProve maintains numerous and widespread collection capabilities to detect phishing activities. The combination of BIG-IP’s traffic management device and MailProve’s continuously updated Super Blacklist fights phishers head-on. It is a cost-efficient, flexible and futureproof solution that is fast to deploy and easy to manage.”

Companies deploying the F5-MailProve anti-phishing solution will be able to use F5’s unique iControl operational interface for optimal control and improved efficiencies of the network environment. In addition to its anti-phishing capabilities, the solution also provides extreme application-level anti-virus protection with BIG-IP’s iControl API as the unifying protection point.
MailProve detected there are eight major phishing attacks against organizations in Hong
Kong during December 2004. There are a total of 80% increase on phishing issues in Hong Kong between the first and second half of the year of 2004.
