  July spam captures exceed all of 2002
Time: 13:59 EST/18:59 GMT | News Source: ZDNet | Posted By: Alex Harris

Anybody still unconvinced about the scale of the spam epidemic should consider this fact: MessageLabs intercepted more spam in the last month than in the whole of 2002. While this is in part proof that filtering is more widely used, it is also an indication as to just how much spam is being sent and received each day. According to MessageLabs spam accounted for 50 per cent of all e-mail again during July.

MessageLabs' anti-spam service scanned more than 156.6 million e-mails during July. Of those 79.7 million were identified as spam and intercepted. MessageLabs, in its monthly report, also reported the interception of 1.7 million viruses throughout July--equal to one in 166 e-mails. Worst offending sectors for the distribution of viruses were leisure and sports and entertainment were around one in 70 emails sent is a virus--perhaps a reflection of the more relaxed attitudes in such sectors.
