Porn Spam Makes A Triumphant Return

from the it's-baaaaaaaaack dept

It's getting tough to tell who you can actually trust when it comes to the various spam surveys about what spam is out there -- as they seldom seem to agree with each other. Just a month ago we were writing about how porn spam clearly seemed to be on the decline, while a new report suggests the amount of porn spam has tripled. Indeed, the studies might agree, as the new one says that porn spam tripled in January from December (when we had noted it slowed). So, apparently, porn spammers suddenly felt that January was the right time to start blasting porn spam again, while financial spam suddenly seemed to be less exciting. On the "always popular" list, "health" or "medical" spam (again, extremely loosely defined) seems to always be in fashion.
