News: March sees more spam than ever
March was another bumper month for spam, with the latest figures revealing a continued increase in the amount of unsolicited e-mail traffic.

Anti-spam firm Brightmail recorded a 4-percent month-on-month increase in the amount of spam detected by its Probe Network. More alarmingly, compared to the same month last year, the amount of spam detected has almost doubled.

The most common kinds of spam can best be described as the usual suspects, with porn, scams, financial services and product offers--such as natural Viagra or weight loss pills--all featuring heavily.
