Matt’s Journal

Usually Gmail’s spam filter is exemplary and I never even receive a whiff of Spam in my Inbox. Over the last two days however, one type of Spam has been circumventing the filter and very annoyingly making it’s way into the sacred zone of my Inbox.

The screenshot below shows what the message contains:

It is quite unremarkable and doesn’t really offer much (which is probably why it slipped through). I haven’t bothered to open the .zip file for fear of infection (haha, infection).

Anyone else been getting this? It seems to be one every hour or so. Being a diligent user, I have used the Report Spam button repeatedly but they still keep slipping through.

I have now added this button to put a spanner in the spammers works (love the aliteration?)
