ABSTRACT:
Sophisticated spammers bring traditional direct marketing tactics to the table, innovating with new campaigns, tracking responses and refining the programs. The rise of PDF spam at the end of 2006 is a great example. PDF spam, designed to evade detection by email security tools, disappeared as quickly as it appeared because it didn't get the same response rates as other techniques.
