A Visual History of Spam

Cristiano writes "Microsoft employee Raymond Chen has saved every spam message and virus-laden e-mail he's received at work since 1997 and graphed the spams and viruses to create a cool visual representation of one man's malicious traffic."

Re:RTFA instead of looking at the pretty picture

I also looked at the pretty picture and embellished my personal knowledge base by reading the article, as well.

I agree with the person you responded too; this guy's level of spam is nil. And, the true irony is that M$ (for whom this suck-ass works) is probably 99% of the reason spam exists anyway!

The true question is why is this even remotely "news for nerds. stuff that matters." Don't understand how it made the press when most of us here get as much spam on some days that this prick has received since 1997. News?

What was it you said... Doh? Telling response....
