U.S. Hurricanes Cooked Spam Briefly
Miami FL (UPI) Oct 4, 2004 Perhaps the only benefit from four hurricanes that hit Florida in the last two months is that spam e-mail fell by 10 percent, The Mirror reported Monday. Cyberspace experts said the fall of gambling and pornography offers was no doubt related to massive power outages. There are probably only 200 spammers in the world and most of them are in Florida, said Paul Wood, of the anti-spam firm MessageLabs, However, spammers appear to be matching the general recovery rate in the battered state, said Steve Linford of the spam watch group, Spamhaus. There are 35 billion e-mails a day and 85 percent are spam, he said. After the hurricanes, that fell to around 75 percent but we're now seeing it climb again very steeply. All rights reserved.
