Abstract
How can better email worms be created? How can spyware claim more
victims? How can better spam be sent? It turns out that these three questions
are all related. We look at the future threat posed by email worms, spyware,
and spammers that use zombie machines in a new way: sophisticated data mining
of their victims saved email. The end result skirts many defenses, and could
trick even experienced users. We present new defenses that can be deployed now
against this threat.
