VIRUS MYTHS AND HOAXES: |
ANTI-SPAM WAR: |
|
Spam is an escalating problem. According to a recent Harris
Interactive poll, more than 40 percent of all email is spam, up from
just 13 percent a year earlier. By the end of this year, spam will
account for more than half of all email; some enterprises are
reporting that spam is already more than 80 percent of their incoming
email. In America, almost half of all spam received comes from
overseas. Most alarmingly, spam is evolving from a nuisance to a
business threat, with volume email creating a Denial of Service
(DoS)-style attack, bringing email servers to their virtual knees.
