A new way to spot malicious spam?

[rslade]

A team at Ben Gurion University say they have a new way to identify malicious email messages.

First, though, they don't say much about it.

Then they say it relies on machine learning.

I'm not throwing away my spam filters and application firewalls just yet ...

I too was trying to get some info on that. Malware- Labs offered just a tad of info about it, so I tried a link on the Phys.org site's page related to it.

It kept telling me that my IP address is blocked --- for multiple sources I tried connecting from --- so I suppose it means the details of this are 'classified' for now....
