For the past five years we have enjoyed a relatively calm period with respect to spam volumes. Back at the turn of the decade the world was experiencing record-high volumes of spam. However, with the evolution of new anti-spam technologies, combined with some high-profile takedowns of spam-related botnets, voluminous and indiscriminate spam attacks fell precipitously in popularity with spammers. Subsequently, having lower volumes of spam to contend with, anti-spam systems had the luxury of dedicating more computer processing resources to analyzing fewer messages for email-based threats. But, as the fashion industry adage goes, “everything old is new again.” Spam volumes are back on the rise.
Good things evolve in the right direction, but bad things go in the worse direction to keep us always busy, but thanks to that, keep us in a security growing business. Excellent blog post as always. Thank you for sharing it, deeply appreciated.
