One beeellion spam messages
Posted on December 18, 2009 | No Comments
Project Honeypot has announced that they've collected one billion spam messages since they started in 2004. They have a pretty remarkable rundown of the trends for spammers in the last couple of years, including a look at the volume of product spam (V1AGRA, etc) versus fraud spam (419, etc). The majority of spam is still largely fire-and-forget, and only a relatively small percentage of spam is targeted at the recipient.
