Spam Increases Make Things Tough For Companies

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the to-say-nothing-of-little-old-me dept.

dosten sent us a link to a story running on Cnet about the spam epidemic. My favorite stat is that by 2006, we'll be getting 1400 spam a year. Of course, I already get that every week. Talks about foreign spam relays, block lists, and so on. Decent piece explaining a huge problem that's only getting worse.

    But that would actually imply him READING the article, something that's sooooo passe for the Slashdot crowd.

    It's been my experience that Slashdot likes to incite it's readers, not actually inform them. Such a monumental waste of a large readership - you can bet sites like The New York Times wish they had those numbers...
