Yahoo is touting a new set of tools it is using to block spam for its webmail service.

Company anti-spam czar Mark Risher made a posting on Tuesday outlining some of the new protections that the company is putting into place. "At Yahoo, we take spam seriously," wrote Risher.

"It's a huge challenge and the bad guys are always out there trying to make a buck with their scams, but we’re committed to helping keep you safer online." Amongst the tools is a computing cluster which utilizes the company's Hadoop distributed computing system. The cluster consists of thousands of individual systems and is used to detect and filter out spam, according to Risher.
