Leyden Senior Member The people have spoken. I'm a nitpicking dick. Woo! 8757 Posts 1/04	Posted - Apr 8 2009 : 7:42PM If you think you're getting a lot of spam these days, well, that's because you are. In Microsoft's latest biannual report on the state of computer security, the company says that in the second half of 2008, a full 97.3 percent of email traffic was unwanted spam (or malicious email like phishing attacks and outright viruses). Surprisingly though, that's down a bit from the first half of last year, when total spam volume reached a whopping 98.4 percent of all email sent. What are we being spammed about? Pharmacy and other product ads make up the lion's share of spam, accounting for 72.2 percent of all spam sent. Only 10 percent of the total spam share now involves sexually-oriented pharmaceuticals; that's a huge decline from previous studies, as apparently Viagra and Cialis are no longer that hard to come by. Image-only spam, dating come-ons, financial spam, and fraudulent diplomas round out the remainder of the most common spam subjects. Click to expand Yahoo! Tech [Link]

jayo All-Star Member 2117 Posts 7/04	Posted - Apr 9 2009 : 9:29AM Right now, in my Yahoo In-box (not the spam folder), I've got: "Women will be your resigned slaves" Unprintable characters with "MP3" interspersed Two for "MEDICAL BILLING PROGRAMS" One "Free Viagra" I remember a time when I actually liked Yahoo. 10 years ago...
