Although my spamfilter on my home email keeps me pretty well protected (ok, primarily because the setting is really high), I have still often wondered about a number of the emails I receive from friends and coworkers. Frequently, I turn to Snopes to discover the accuracy of the email, checking to see if it is just your basic chain letter, hoax, etc. However, a coworker recently told me about Hoaxbusters (http://hoaxbusters.ciac.org/). I have to say, this is really an interesting site, and one that I could happily spend some free time exploring. (Well, once I regain free time.)
In addition to debunking urban myths, it also provides information about trojan viruses, origins of some of the emails, and even an analysis of the costs of these hoax emails. Although I haven’t read through the analysis very thoroughly, and so am not sure how they came up with their figures, this is definitely one site I look forward to investigating further.
