India Tops Target List For Spam
Ant wrote to mention a ZDNet news report on the realities of spam traffic. The U.S. is still the number one producer/distributor of spam in the world. However, with their quick adoption of technology over the last few years, Indian users are now top targets for spam. From the article: "India's rapid adoption of new technology has left its PC users struggling to cope with very high levels of spam, according to a report released Wednesday. Ninety-one percent of email traffic sent to Indian PC users is spam, according to email security company MessageLabs, which warned that the rate of technological advancement has outstripped growth in security awareness. 'There is booming technology in India, but it has been suggested there is little thought for security, which creates a market to exploit that,' said Paul Wood, security analyst at MessageLabs."
I think it would be more profitable to sell the Indians pills that "guaranteed" that they'll have sons. And then another to sell sex dolls for those 20 million men who are unable to find a wife because everyone prefered sons so they had their daughters aborted or whatever.
Saturday is April 1. Slashdot will be shut down. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Not only that. Since porn and strip bars are illegal in India (moral police!) even nude Britney Spears emails will be opened, because a lot of Indians are sexually desperate (too many engineers in the country eh?). I have been in India for 5 years and that is the hard truth.
