Net Pollution

Just wanted to drop some quick stats that I ran across in an article featured on New Scientist about the shocking volume of spam that is perpetuated on the Net.

  • As much as 91% of all email is now spam. – Postini, November 2006
  • Daily spam volume is up by 120% over last 12 months. – Postini, November 2006
  • In October 2006, image spam accounted for 25% of all spam. – IronPort Systems, October 2006

    91% of email is spam. This is all getting out of hand. Do some people enjoy sending out spam? Sick punks I say.
