What amaze me was another presentation on Spam and Covert channels. Here the speaker from Computer Science Corp talked on analysis on spam and Convert channels. Naka nga- nga ang lahat noong sabihin how cutting edge mag communicate ang mga Pinoy thru seemingly spam but was actually a convert channel of communication. It is like the speaker alluded that group of Pinoy spam ring based in the Philippines, US, Canada and France were communicating differently.
cant resist but does anybody have an idea what is this 'covert channel' of communicating? the only thing that came to mind is the bastardized txt lingo that is getting prevalent not only on SMS ring but also on email conversations.
un lng psok icp me. k? /*insert u with umlaut here*/
anyway, the mention of the DOST in the presented paper is really something to be proud of. :)
ciao!
