'Tis the season - for spam

Barracuda Networks released a new survey they did on spam today. According to this survey between 90% and 95% of all email sent is spam.  I knew the number was high but that is just staggering.  Also of interest was that business executives view spam as the worst junk advertising.  Spam far out paced junk postal mail and telemarketing. I don't know but I think telemarketing calls are the worst, even worse than spam. Also with the holiday season, we are seeing a pick up in holiday theme related spam.  Also according to the survey, expect a flood of New Years related spam around new years resolutions. 

If nothing else spammers are resourceful and persistent. What I could never for the life of me understand is who clicks on these emails and buys the things the spammers sell?  If no one did, there would be no spam.  So I guess one mans spam is another mans great find.  Anyway here is hoping your own spam filters are in place and sparing you from the deluge!
