Project Honeypot

In the spirit of FireFox I thought I'd make a posting about another non-profit online organization that is making a difference fighting for more security on the web. It is an interesting project that is dedicated to fighting spam called Project Honeypot. Rather than restate what has already been written I'll leave you all with a quote from their web site.

"Project Honey Pot is the first and only distributed system for identifying spammers and the spambots they use to scrape addresses from your website. Using the Project Honey Pot system you can install addresses that are custom-tagged to the time and IP address of a visitor to your site. If one of these addresses begins receiving email we not only can tell that the messages are spam, but also the exact moment when the address was harvested and the IP address that gathered it."

Be sure to visit Project Honeypot and help fight spam!
