The King of Spam Gets Personal
Tom’s Guide CA
Why? Because jackpots are higher when they succeed in obtaining sensitive personal data from specially targeted attractive victims. While most consumers use some type of spam protection (usually embedded in security suites or antivirus software) most of these messages slip under the radar undetected thus escaping the fiery pits of Spam Folder hell. Cisco also reports that currently 90 percent of all emails sent worldwide – roughly 200 billion messages per day – are defined as spam. This number has nearly doubled since 2007 representing 200 spam emails per day for every Internet user on the planet. In real-world numbers that’s quite a lot of money Uncle Sam will never see since these messages don’t require stamps. Consumers should keep aware that not all spam remains within the Internet realm; some find their way onto cell phones via SMS.
