Spammers Diversifying Beyond Porn
from the gotta-stay-fresh dept
It appears that porn spam just isn't paying off like it used to. Porn spam is on the decline, while other spam areas such as healthcare and online gambling are on the rise. Of course, "healthcare" is not the most accurate term, since most of those spams are for bogus pills to enlarge body parts or for fake Viagra (also, I guess, pitched to enlarge body parts). Those behind the study say that this shows online gambling and selling such pills probably has a better return than pitching porn sites over spam. It's still upsetting that these sorts of spam have any return at all.
