90% of eMail Now Considered Spam
Posted by marc under Business , Email Marketing , Internet Marketing , Stats
Have you been noticing an increase in spam levels recently? I know my spam folder is hit with hundreds a day not to mention the 10 or more penny stock ads I have to delete from my inbox every morning. Well your not alone. According to U.S. email security company Postini, 9 out of 10 emails sent worldwide are considered spam. This number has tripled since June and now represents approximately 7 billion emails per month.
To find out more about who is behind all the spam you can read a good article over at cnn.com. My last copy of network computing had a nice chart in it which not surprisingly showed that over 1/2 of the infected computers sending the spam are Windows XP SP2.
