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.

    Malda, you idiot, the article says 1400 spams a YEAR, not a DAY. I figured this out within 5 seconds of reading the article. How much do you get paid for this??

    What job could be easier, and allow me such much free time to troll slashdot? This job is great, it lets me pay the rent (for a very roomy house), put food on the table (pizza most nights), goof off on the weekends and let me work at my own pace? I tell you the spammers life is a good life!
