In Europe, Auto Spam Translation Kicks In

An anonymous reader writes "While spam levels globally remain at a two-year high of approximately 90 percent, some European countries are seeing levels of over 95%. According to a new MessageLabs report (PDF here), countries such as Germany, France and the Netherlands are being heavily targeted by spammers with automated spam translation techniques. The use of automated translation services enables multiple-language spam runs and is responsible for a 13% increase in spam levels in these countries since May."

    get fucked eurotrash. Legit US COMPANIES aren't sending you spam. Criminal spammers are, via spam networks in user PC's like your grandma's.
    If you get email you signed up for and aren't smart enough to unsubscribe with the link provided by LEGIT business, then you should unplug your PC and give it away.
