Today, we’re excited to announce our first step in creating a unified Google Apps experience by moving some Postini features directly into the Google Apps administrative interface. <br /><br />The new Objectionable Content and Content Compliance email security settings, available directly in the Google Apps control panel, will allow admins to filter messages based on word lists or predefined sets of words, phrases, text patterns, or numerical patterns. And because these are built into the Google Apps infrastructure, admins will be able to use their existing user and organization structures set up for their domain to customize policies for different groups.<br /><br />Bill MacKenzie, ICT Consultant for Ontario's Upper Grand District School Board, finds the new settings useful and easy to manage: "The content compliance feature has been a great addition to our cloud solution. It was a snap to set up, surprising our tech folks at how little work and time it took to implement. The compliance tool lets students, parents and administrators know that the email at our district is being supervised."<br /><br />Over the coming weeks, we will be making these features available to business, education and government customers. We're especially excited to introduce these settings to K-12 schools. With these email filters and the <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2011/01/set-limits-on-email-use-within-your.html">walled garden</a> functionality we announced earlier this year, K-12 schools will be able to address their email security needs and easily manage policies for students and teachers -- all within Google Apps.<br /><br />Because all K-12 schools will automatically have these advanced email security features, we will no longer offer Google Message Security free of charge to new K-12 Google Apps customers. While we will continue to provide the service to K-12 schools currently using advanced features of Google Message Security, we plan to add even more email security features to the Google Apps control panel during the next year. Once comparable features are available in Google Apps, we will require K-12 Google Apps customers using Postini to consolidate their email security features into the Google Apps control panel. Google Apps for Business and Google Apps for Government customers are welcome to try these new features but will not be required to transition until a later date next year.<br /><br />We invite everyone to start trying these new features for your domain. You can create similar filters to those you have in Postini in the improved Google Apps control panel interface.

Today, we’re excited to announce that <a href="//www.google.com/postini/continuity.html#utm_campaign=en&utm_source=en-na-us-entblog-gmc_012011&utm_medium=blog">Google Message Continuity</a> now also supports Microsoft Exchange® 2010 Servers, helping to protect an even broader range of users from business continuity and email access disruptions.<br /><br />Recent research conducted by the Radicati Group suggests that users of Microsoft Exchange® face on average over five hours of downtime a month, which is a combination of both unplanned outages and regularly scheduled downtime<sup>1</sup>. Let’s compare this to Gmail. Google Apps offers a service level agreement of 99.9% for all of its services. However, <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2011/01/destination-dial-tone-getting-google.html#utm_campaign=en&utm_source=en-na-us-entblog-gmc_012011&utm_medium=blog">as we noted back in January</a>, our own measurements showed that Gmail only experienced on average seven minutes of downtime per month throughout 2010 – 46 times less than an Exchange-based environment – which represented a total uptime average of 99.984% for the entire year.

Today, we’re excited to announce that <a href="//www.google.com/postini/continuity.html#utm_campaign=en&utm_source=en-na-us-entblog-gmc_012011&utm_medium=blog">Google Message Continuity</a> now also supports Microsoft Exchange® 2010 Servers, helping to protect an even broader range of users from business continuity and email access disruptions.<br /><br />Recent research conducted by the Radicati Group suggests that users of Microsoft Exchange® face on average over five hours of downtime a month, which is a combination of both unplanned outages and regularly scheduled downtime<sup>1</sup>. Let’s compare this to Gmail. Google Apps offers a service level agreement of 99.9% for all of its services. However, <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2011/01/destination-dial-tone-getting-google.html#utm_campaign=en&utm_source=en-na-us-entblog-gmc_012011&utm_medium=blog">as we noted back in January</a>, our own measurements showed that Gmail only experienced on average seven minutes of downtime per month throughout 2010 – 46 times less than an Exchange-based environment – which represented a total uptime average of 99.984% for the entire year.

August saw a massive 241% increase in virus volume over July, representing the greatest recorded surge in viral activity since 2008. Overall, payload virus volume increased 42% over Q2’10 and 10% over Q3’09, while spam levels decreased 16% and 24% over the same periods, respectively. The spike in malware attacks during August suggests that we might see higher levels of spam moving forward into Q4 as botnet “seeds” planted during this time begin to take action.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">By the numbers</span><br />Overall, spam volume stayed relatively constant throughout Q3, with a slight dip in August and September. In comparison to the same time in 2009, spam levels are down 24%. This may be attributed to some recent botnet takedowns, such as the partial Pushdo shut down, or point to a generally slower summer season for spam.<div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="//2.bp.blogspot.com/_2ib5z2dvVco/TLxzd4UYQTI/AAAAAAAAABg/BSehE3nNvaA/s1600/Q3%2710+Spam+per+user.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529421399675388210" src="//2.bp.blogspot.com/_2ib5z2dvVco/TLxzd4UYQTI/AAAAAAAAABg/BSehE3nNvaA/s400/Q3%2710+Spam+per+user.png" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 243px;"></a><br />However, payload virus levels shot up to record-high levels in August. In comparison to August of 2009, we saw a 111% percent increase in volume overall. What is more remarkable, though, is that this August saw the highest registered number of viruses blocked in a single day: 188 million. This virus surge is even more pronounced than last October’s, when Mega-D, a top-ten botnet, infected over 250,000 computers worldwide before being shut down by a carefully orchestrated campaign by security professionals. This recent increase in viral activity could indicate a “gearing up” as spammers attempt to construct botnets in time for the holiday season and increased consumer spending. With the commercialization of spam in 2006, we’ve often seen a correlation between spam, malware campaigns, and seasonal consumer patterns.<br /><br />The actual content of this virus wave consisted mainly of traditional spoofing of major brands, along with a new tactic involving recycling previously sent emails taken from the hard drives of infected computers. This new method is more difficult to detect as the wording and content is familiar to the recipient. As always, be on the lookout for suspicious email language and exercise extreme caution when clicking on links. Features in Gmail such as <a href="http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2009/07/new-in-labs-super-trustworthy-anti.html#utm_campaign=en&utm_source=en-na-us-entblog-Q3SpamTrends_10142010&utm_medium=blog">authentication icons</a> can go a long way in protecting your computer, but it’s important to be aware and mindful of these new viral activities when managing your inbox.<div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="//2.bp.blogspot.com/_2ib5z2dvVco/TLxxoPrPmmI/AAAAAAAAABI/kaiLo2lMYQM/s1600/Q3%2710+virus+payload.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529419378720741986" src="//2.bp.blogspot.com/_2ib5z2dvVco/TLxxoPrPmmI/AAAAAAAAABI/kaiLo2lMYQM/s400/Q3%2710+virus+payload.png" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 241px;"></a><br />An interesting and unusual trend has been in the sizes of the individual viruses being transmitted. Particularly, we’ve seen some irregularly sharp peaks in size throughout September, following the surge in total numbers during August. This could be due in part to increased use of .zip and .html attachments containing malicious JavaScripts. Overall, virus traffic continues to be strong and users need to be on high alert when handling suspicious messages. Postini Services customers are strongly encouraged to enable the Early Detection Filtering functionality in order to ensure maximum protection from zero day virus threats.</div><div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="//1.bp.blogspot.com/_2ib5z2dvVco/TLxyoptILhI/AAAAAAAAABQ/T-VqFjLppxc/s1600/Q3%2710+virus+size.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529420485219593746" src="//1.bp.blogspot.com/_2ib5z2dvVco/TLxyoptILhI/AAAAAAAAABQ/T-VqFjLppxc/s400/Q3%2710+virus+size.png" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 222px;"></a><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Shortened URLs can mask suspicious links</span><br />This quarter we detected an increased volume of emails containing shortened URLs linking to suspicious websites. Spammers are increasingly making use of services that shorten URLs as a way of masking the destination website to the user. With the widespread proliferation of shortened URLs, particularly among blogging sites and social networks, it has become increasingly important to remain vigilant and skeptical when evaluating URLs. A shortened URL sent from a “friend” might seem innocuous enough, but, as always, links and emails sent from unknown senders should be scrutinized before further action is taken.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Beware false financial transaction messages</span> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="//1.bp.blogspot.com/_2ib5z2dvVco/TLySxbhtAbI/AAAAAAAAABw/veFOep7_TP4/s1600/Q3%2710+ACH.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529455820404490674" src="//1.bp.blogspot.com/_2ib5z2dvVco/TLySxbhtAbI/AAAAAAAAABw/veFOep7_TP4/s400/Q3%2710+ACH.png" style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 175px;"></a><br />We continue to see false notifications claiming to be sent by various financial authorities. Spammers will frequently send their targets a simple yet authoritative message alerting them of a rejected or unauthorized transaction, then provide a false link directing them to a website. The format of these emails is often simple and innocuous, making it difficult to ascertain the malicious content from a quick glance.<div><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Continued use of NDRs</span><br />Non-Delivery Report/Receipt (NDR) are legitimate messages used to alert users that a sent email has not been delivered correctly. <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2010/07/q210-spam-virus-trends-from-postini.html">Back in July</a> we noticed an upswing in false NDRs bearing malicious JavaScript. As a hybrid between virus and spam messages, these messages were in reality obfuscated JavaScript attacks, directing users to a particular website or initiating an unexpected download. The user is often unaware of the attacks, making these messages particularly dangerous and difficult to detect. However, Google’s vast network and patented filtering technology was able to detect these messages early on and respond quickly. The Postini-Anti-Spam-Engine (PASE) was immediately updated in response and has been protecting users throughout Q3 from the continued use of false NDRs.<div><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Fake celebrity gossip</span><br />Although August was a slower month in terms of overall spam volume, we saw a substantial spike in messages claiming to break the news of untimely and sudden deaths of various high-profile celebrities. The messages referenced a zip file that in turn contained a virus. These messages, similar to various classic phishing scams involving “friends” in need, attempt to pique a user’s interest with an alarming subject line and content. This has proven to be a successful tactic – hence its continued popularity – as users will often open an email instinctively in response to a particularly emotional or compelling subject line. In response to these attacks, our engineers have developed and released filters designed to combat new spam waves.</div><div><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Stay safe with a cloud-based security solution</span><br />Postini’s hosted <a href="//www.google.com/postini/email.html#utm_campaign=en&utm_source=en-na-us-entblog-Q3SpamTrends_10142010&utm_medium=blog">email security solutions</a> provide comprehensive spam and virus filtering in the cloud – before they reach the network level.

This may be attributed to some recent botnet takedowns, such as the partial Pushdo shut down, or point to a generally slower summer season for spam.<div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="//2.bp.blogspot.com/_2ib5z2dvVco/TLxzd4UYQTI/AAAAAAAAABg/BSehE3nNvaA/s1600/Q3%2710+Spam+per+user.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529421399675388210" src="//2.bp.blogspot.com/_2ib5z2dvVco/TLxzd4UYQTI/AAAAAAAAABg/BSehE3nNvaA/s400/Q3%2710+Spam+per+user.png" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 243px;"></a><br />However, payload virus levels shot up to record-high levels in August. In comparison to August of 2009, we saw a 111% percent increase in volume overall. What is more remarkable, though, is that this August saw the highest registered number of viruses blocked in a single day: 188 million. This virus surge is even more pronounced than last October’s, when Mega-D, a top-ten botnet, infected over 250,000 computers worldwide before being shut down by a carefully orchestrated campaign by security professionals. This recent increase in viral activity could indicate a “gearing up” as spammers attempt to construct botnets in time for the holiday season and increased consumer spending. With the commercialization of spam in 2006, we’ve often seen a correlation between spam, malware campaigns, and seasonal consumer patterns.<br /><br />The actual content of this virus wave consisted mainly of traditional spoofing of major brands, along with a new tactic involving recycling previously sent emails taken from the hard drives of infected computers. This new method is more difficult to detect as the wording and content is familiar to the recipient. As always, be on the lookout for suspicious email language and exercise extreme caution when clicking on links. Features in Gmail such as <a href="http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2009/07/new-in-labs-super-trustworthy-anti.html#utm_campaign=en&utm_source=en-na-us-entblog-Q3SpamTrends_10142010&utm_medium=blog">authentication icons</a> can go a long way in protecting your computer, but it’s important to be aware and mindful of these new viral activities when managing your inbox.<div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="//2.bp.blogspot.com/_2ib5z2dvVco/TLxxoPrPmmI/AAAAAAAAABI/kaiLo2lMYQM/s1600/Q3%2710+virus+payload.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529419378720741986" src="//2.bp.blogspot.com/_2ib5z2dvVco/TLxxoPrPmmI/AAAAAAAAABI/kaiLo2lMYQM/s400/Q3%2710+virus+payload.png" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 241px;"></a><br />An interesting and unusual trend has been in the sizes of the individual viruses being transmitted. Particularly, we’ve seen some irregularly sharp peaks in size throughout September, following the surge in total numbers during August. This could be due in part to increased use of .zip and .html attachments containing malicious JavaScripts. Overall, virus traffic continues to be strong and users need to be on high alert when handling suspicious messages. Postini Services customers are strongly encouraged to enable the Early Detection Filtering functionality in order to ensure maximum protection from zero day virus threats.</div><div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="//1.bp.blogspot.com/_2ib5z2dvVco/TLxyoptILhI/AAAAAAAAABQ/T-VqFjLppxc/s1600/Q3%2710+virus+size.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529420485219593746" src="//1.bp.blogspot.com/_2ib5z2dvVco/TLxyoptILhI/AAAAAAAAABQ/T-VqFjLppxc/s400/Q3%2710+virus+size.png" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 222px;"></a><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Shortened URLs can mask suspicious links</span><br />This quarter we detected an increased volume of emails containing shortened URLs linking to suspicious websites. Spammers are increasingly making use of services that shorten URLs as a way of masking the destination website to the user. With the widespread proliferation of shortened URLs, particularly among blogging sites and social networks, it has become increasingly important to remain vigilant and skeptical when evaluating URLs. A shortened URL sent from a “friend” might seem innocuous enough, but, as always, links and emails sent from unknown senders should be scrutinized before further action is taken.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Beware false financial transaction messages</span> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="//1.bp.blogspot.com/_2ib5z2dvVco/TLySxbhtAbI/AAAAAAAAABw/veFOep7_TP4/s1600/Q3%2710+ACH.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529455820404490674" src="//1.bp.blogspot.com/_2ib5z2dvVco/TLySxbhtAbI/AAAAAAAAABw/veFOep7_TP4/s400/Q3%2710+ACH.png" style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 175px;"></a><br />We continue to see false notifications claiming to be sent by various financial authorities. Spammers will frequently send their targets a simple yet authoritative message alerting them of a rejected or unauthorized transaction, then provide a false link directing them to a website. The format of these emails is often simple and innocuous, making it difficult to ascertain the malicious content from a quick glance.<div><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Continued use of NDRs</span><br />Non-Delivery Report/Receipt (NDR) are legitimate messages used to alert users that a sent email has not been delivered correctly. <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2010/07/q210-spam-virus-trends-from-postini.html">Back in July</a> we noticed an upswing in false NDRs bearing malicious JavaScript. As a hybrid between virus and spam messages, these messages were in reality obfuscated JavaScript attacks, directing users to a particular website or initiating an unexpected download. The user is often unaware of the attacks, making these messages particularly dangerous and difficult to detect. However, Google’s vast network and patented filtering technology was able to detect these messages early on and respond quickly. The Postini-Anti-Spam-Engine (PASE) was immediately updated in response and has been protecting users throughout Q3 from the continued use of false NDRs.<div><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Fake celebrity gossip</span><br />Although August was a slower month in terms of overall spam volume, we saw a substantial spike in messages claiming to break the news of untimely and sudden deaths of various high-profile celebrities. The messages referenced a zip file that in turn contained a virus. These messages, similar to various classic phishing scams involving “friends” in need, attempt to pique a user’s interest with an alarming subject line and content. This has proven to be a successful tactic – hence its continued popularity – as users will often open an email instinctively in response to a particularly emotional or compelling subject line. In response to these attacks, our engineers have developed and released filters designed to combat new spam waves.</div><div><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Stay safe with a cloud-based security solution</span><br />Postini’s hosted <a href="//www.google.com/postini/email.html#utm_campaign=en&utm_source=en-na-us-entblog-Q3SpamTrends_10142010&utm_medium=blog">email security solutions</a> provide comprehensive spam and virus filtering in the cloud – before they reach the network level.

After the ISP 3FN was taken down, spam levels rebounded in less than a month, and after Real Host went down, spam volumes recovered after only two days. In response, the anti-spam community turned its attention toward taking botnets offline instead.</div><div><br /></div><div>Toward the end of 2009, Mega-D, a top-10 botnet – responsible for infecting more than 250,000 computers worldwide – was severely crippled through a carefully orchestrated campaign designed to isolate the command-and-control servers spammers were using to support the botnet. In early 2010, security professionals, along with government agencies, successfully mounted a campaign against several more targets: major botnets such as Waledac, Mariposa, and Zeus were either <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/8570993.stm">shut down</a> or had their operations significantly curtailed.</div><div><br /></div><div>However, this recent spate of botnet takedowns has not had a dramatic impact on spam levels. Although spam and virus levels did fall below Q4’09 highs, reports from Google’s global analytics show that spam levels held relatively steady over the course of Q1’10. </div><div><br /></div><div>This suggests that there’s no shortage of botnets out there for spammers to use. If one botnet goes offline, spammers simply buy, rent, or deploy another, making it difficult for the anti-spam community to make significant inroads in the fight against spam with individual botnet takedowns.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Spam by the numbers<br /></b>Overall, spam volume fell 12% from Q4’09 to Q1’10, which follows a trend of quarterly decreases in overall spam levels that started after the surge in Q2’09. This may be attributed to some of the recent takedowns, but spam volume was still 6% higher this quarter than it was <a href="ttp://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2009/03/spam-data-and-trends-q1-2009.html">during the same period in 2009</a>, and spam volume as a percentage of total email messages is holding steady.<br /><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=""><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459780352837545906" src="//2.bp.blogspot.com/_jSdgG4-DeNE/S8UJTcKJ77I/AAAAAAAAAWs/EFCfINPvGX0/s400/WA30-1004_Q1-Spam-Trends_Spam-User_v3.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 289px;"></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />Recently, our data centers showed a 30% increase in the size of individual spam messages (measured in bytes) that occurred toward the end of March, as shown below.<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=""><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459780346882095602" src="//4.bp.blogspot.com/_jSdgG4-DeNE/S8UJTF-Q-fI/AAAAAAAAAWk/Rem9Rva4q2E/s400/WA30-1004_Q1-Spam-Trends_Spam-Bytes_v3.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 273px;"></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />This spike points to a resurgence of image spam, similar to <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2009/07/q2-2009-spam-trends.html">what we reported in Q2’09</a>.

After the ISP 3FN was taken down, spam levels rebounded in less than a month, and after Real Host went down, spam volumes recovered after only two days. In response, the anti-spam community turned its attention toward taking botnets offline instead.</div><div><br /></div><div>Toward the end of 2009, Mega-D, a top-10 botnet – responsible for infecting more than 250,000 computers worldwide – was severely crippled through a carefully orchestrated campaign designed to isolate the command-and-control servers spammers were using to support the botnet. In early 2010, security professionals, along with government agencies, successfully mounted a campaign against several more targets: major botnets such as Waledac, Mariposa, and Zeus were either <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/8570993.stm">shut down</a> or had their operations significantly curtailed.</div><div><br /></div><div>However, this recent spate of botnet takedowns has not had a dramatic impact on spam levels. Although spam and virus levels did fall below Q4’09 highs, reports from Google’s global analytics show that spam levels held relatively steady over the course of Q1’10. </div><div><br /></div><div>This suggests that there’s no shortage of botnets out there for spammers to use. If one botnet goes offline, spammers simply buy, rent, or deploy another, making it difficult for the anti-spam community to make significant inroads in the fight against spam with individual botnet takedowns.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Spam by the numbers<br /></b>Overall, spam volume fell 12% from Q4’09 to Q1’10, which follows a trend of quarterly decreases in overall spam levels that started after the surge in Q2’09. This may be attributed to some of the recent takedowns, but spam volume was still 6% higher this quarter than it was <a href="ttp://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2009/03/spam-data-and-trends-q1-2009.html">during the same period in 2009</a>, and spam volume as a percentage of total email messages is holding steady.<br /><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=""><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459780352837545906" src="//2.bp.blogspot.com/_jSdgG4-DeNE/S8UJTcKJ77I/AAAAAAAAAWs/EFCfINPvGX0/s400/WA30-1004_Q1-Spam-Trends_Spam-User_v3.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 289px;"></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />Recently, our data centers showed a 30% increase in the size of individual spam messages (measured in bytes) that occurred toward the end of March, as shown below.<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=""><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459780346882095602" src="//4.bp.blogspot.com/_jSdgG4-DeNE/S8UJTF-Q-fI/AAAAAAAAAWk/Rem9Rva4q2E/s400/WA30-1004_Q1-Spam-Trends_Spam-Bytes_v3.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 273px;"></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />This spike points to a resurgence of image spam, similar to <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2009/07/q2-2009-spam-trends.html">what we reported in Q2’09</a>.

This feature delivers the search and analysis capabilities normally available with on-premise solutions, but without the associated complexity or maintenance.<br /><br />When messages pass through the Postini service, header and transaction data about these messages is stored in a log. Previously, admins only had access to this data through customer support. With the Message Log Search feature, email administrators can now easily run searches on these logs and drill down to the details about how specific messages were processed.<br /><br />For example, admins can view the disposition of messages, such as whether a message or group of messages was delivered, quarantined, archived, or encrypted.<br /><br />Say an admin was checking the delivery status of all inbound emails from Matthew Smith:<div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="//1.bp.blogspot.com/_jSdgG4-DeNE/S2sILbay9bI/AAAAAAAAAPw/kvz_pehtKuw/s1600-h/LogSearchQuery-edited2.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5434446367784367538" src="//1.bp.blogspot.com/_jSdgG4-DeNE/S2sILbay9bI/AAAAAAAAAPw/kvz_pehtKuw/s400/LogSearchQuery-edited2.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 141px;"></a><br />Message Log Search returns results which include who received the message, date/time, disposition, and more.

This feature delivers the search and analysis capabilities normally available with on-premise solutions, but without the associated complexity or maintenance.<br /><br />When messages pass through the Postini service, header and transaction data about these messages is stored in a log. Previously, admins only had access to this data through customer support. With the Message Log Search feature, email administrators can now easily run searches on these logs and drill down to the details about how specific messages were processed.<br /><br />For example, admins can view the disposition of messages, such as whether a message or group of messages was delivered, quarantined, archived, or encrypted.<br /><br />Say an admin was checking the delivery status of all inbound emails from Matthew Smith:<div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="//1.bp.blogspot.com/_jSdgG4-DeNE/S2sILbay9bI/AAAAAAAAAPw/kvz_pehtKuw/s1600-h/LogSearchQuery-edited2.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5434446367784367538" src="//1.bp.blogspot.com/_jSdgG4-DeNE/S2sILbay9bI/AAAAAAAAAPw/kvz_pehtKuw/s400/LogSearchQuery-edited2.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 141px;"></a><br />Message Log Search returns results which include who received the message, date/time, disposition, and more.

For example, Dave Lugo at Affiliated Computer Systems is "very happy" that Message Log Search helps him track errant emails and easily resolve the "they didn't get it / we didn't get it" tickets he receives from his users.

These email addresses are actually spoofed (a common technique to mask the real origins of a message), and spammers employ this technique to take advantage of a mistake organizations sometimes make in configuring their spam filters: adding their own domain to their approved sender list.<br /><br />While this might seem like a good idea at first glance – we want to make sure we don't block email from our colleagues, right? – in practice all it does is open your organization up to spoofed email. With that in mind, we strongly recommend that organizations not add their own domains to their approved sender lists. (Don't worry – legitimate mail from within your domain is correctly identified by filters and generally gets through just fine.) <b><br /> <br /> </b>For more information on how Google email security services, powered by Postini, can help your organization provide better spam protection and take a load off your network by halting spam in the cloud, visit<b><b> <a href="//www.google.com/postini" id="ar5o" title="www.google.com/postini">www.google.com/postini</a>.<br /> </b><b><br /> </b></b> Posted by Adam Swidler, Google Postini Services team </span></div></div></div> </script> <noscript> <span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:100%;" ><b></b><i><span style="background-color: rgb(244, 204, 204);"><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Editor's note: </span>The spam data cited in this post is drawn from the network of Google email security and archiving services, powered by Postini, which processes more than 3 billion email connections per day in the course of providing email security to more than 50,000 businesses and 15 million business users. </span></span></i><b><br /></b><br /> Back in 2007, we saw the first variants of a big virus attack later labeled the "Storm" virus.

These email addresses are actually spoofed (a common technique to mask the real origins of a message), and spammers employ this technique to take advantage of a mistake organizations sometimes make in configuring their spam filters: adding their own domain to their approved sender list.<br /><br />While this might seem like a good idea at first glance – we want to make sure we don't block email from our colleagues, right? – in practice all it does is open your organization up to spoofed email. With that in mind, we strongly recommend that organizations not add their own domains to their approved sender lists. (Don't worry – legitimate mail from within your domain is correctly identified by filters and generally gets through just fine.) <b><br /> <br /> </b>For more information on how Google email security services, powered by Postini, can help your organization provide better spam protection and take a load off your network by halting spam in the cloud, visit<b><b> <a href="//www.google.com/postini" id="ar5o" title="www.google.com/postini">www.google.com/postini</a>.<br /> </b><b><br /> </b></b> Posted by Adam Swidler, Google Postini Services team </span></div></div></div> </noscript> </div> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-share social-wrapper' data-href='https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2009/10/q3-spam-virus-trends-from-postini.html'> <img alt='Share on Google+' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/branding/google_plus/2x/ic_w_post_gplus_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='twitter-custom social-wrapper' data-href='http://twitter.com/share?text=Official Google Cloud Blog:Q3'09 Spam & Virus Trends from Postini&url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2009/10/q3-spam-virus-trends-from-postini.html&via=gsuite'> <img alt='Share on Twitter' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_twitter_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='fb-custom social-wrapper' data-href='https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2009/10/q3-spam-virus-trends-from-postini.html'> <img alt='Share on Facebook' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_facebook_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> </div> <div class='comment-container'> <i class='comment-img material-icons'>  </i> <span class='cmt_count_iframe_holder' data-count='2' data-onclick='' data-post-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2009/10/q3-spam-virus-trends-from-postini.html' data-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2009/10/q3-spam-virus-trends-from-postini.html' style='color: #4184F3;'></span> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='cmt_iframe_holder' data-href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2009/10/q3-spam-virus-trends-from-postini.html' data-viewtype='FILTERED_POSTMOD'></div> <a href='https://plus.google.com/112374322230920073195' rel='author' style='display:none;'> Google </a> <div class='label-footer'> <span class='labels-caption'> Labels: </span> <span class='labels'> <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%20Email%20Security%20and%20Archiving' rel='tag'> Google Email Security and Archiving </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Postini' rel='tag'> Postini </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/spam%20and%20security%20trends' rel='tag'> spam and security trends </a> </span> </div> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='7309549750683289089' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2009/09/the-movement-continues-google-at-school.html' itemprop='url' title='The movement continues: "Going Google" at school & with Postini'> The movement continues: "Going Google" at school & with Postini </a> </h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'> Tuesday, September 8, 2009 </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-body'> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <script type='text/template'> <span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:100%;" >In the past month, many of you told us <a href="//www.google.com/apps/intl/en/business/spreadtheword.html#utm_campaign=gogoogle&utm_source=en-na-us-entblog-gogoogle-0908&utm_medium=blog" id="lxaf" title="how you've "gone Google"">how you've "gone Google"</a> with <a href="//www.google.com/apps/intl/en/business/gogoogle.html#utm_campaign=gogoogle&utm_source=en-na-us-entblog-gogoogle-0908&utm_medium=blog" id="sgfl" title="Google Apps in your workplace">Google Apps in your workplace</a><a><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"></span></a><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">.

This quarter, proliferation continues, with an unpredictable pattern of drops and spikes as 2009 moves along.

They succeeded: Within four months, spam levels rose back to pre-McColo levels. This upward trend continued through June 4, when another large ISP spam source, 3FN, <a href="http://voices.washingtonpost.com/securityfix/2009/06/ftc_sues_shuts_down_n_calif_we.html" id="o-st" title="was reported to have been dismantled">was reported to have been dismantled</a>.
