Spam is Dead

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the my-inbox-tells-a-different-tale dept.

Vainglorious Coward writes "Two years on from Bill Gates' promise to eradicate spam, an article in The Observer claims that spam has passed its peak and is now declining. Is it just me that hasn't noticed this?" I got almost a third more spam in 05 than 04. I guess I exist outside the bell curve on this one.

  2. New form of attack by Ex-MislTech · · Score: 0, Troll

    I am seeing they are using a new form of attack via embedding spyware
    on machines that force pop-ups/pop-ins .

    Some of this new stuff even disables pop-up blockers, spybot, and
    anti-virus software .

    Firefox seems to work well against it for now, but they are making
    flash and java based critters in the near future is the buzz .

    If you've got enough money, you can buy one from a prestigeous, accedited university.
