Actually (although I don't recall where I read it), it's estimated that 90% of all spam email (comprising half of all internet traffic) originates from as few as 150 individuals worldwide.


I recall seeing that somewhere too, but I find it a tad difficult to believe given the extreme level of spam, lets face it, the computer community ain't what it used to be, and sadly it seems its only going to get worse, time to dust off the C64 me thinks :-D

I dunno, picture a few (as in a hundred or so) fairly well kitted out machines set up to do nothing but email people all day, every day via a high speed connection.

It wouldn't take that many to generate the tide of sh!te that arrives in any mail address you ever had harvested.


True...sad really, considering those machines could be used for something useful :-(

Perhaps some prison warden or other might print out all the spam he ever got, roll it up tight and insert it painfully back in the guys personal outbox :lol:

You can only hope...
