ResourcesSpam rises 150 per cent in two monthsTimes Online [published 27th Jan 2009]The number of junk e-mails being sent to computer users around the world has risen more than 150 per cent in two months, as spammers fight back against efforts to shut them down. In November, the level of spam junk emails fell dramatically after the plug was pulled on McColo Corp, an American Company accused of providing the gateway for much of the world’s junk emails. But, in just a few weeks, the world’s biggest junk-email gangs appear to have regrouped, as spam emails have now almost recovered to the same levels as before McColo was shut down. According to data compiled by Google, computer users can expect to receive more unsolicited emails this year than ever before.
