Spam has doubled over the past year.

The amount of spam in global mail traffic has doubled over the past year, according to the New York Times . According to Ironport research, more than 90% of all emails are currently unsolicited ads.

At the same time, the share of graphic spam, designed to deceive mail filters, has increased fourfold and, according to various estimates, amounted to 25-45% of the total spam flow.

The fight against spam, of course, tries to keep up, but unscrupulous advertisers are looking for and finding new methods of cheating "spamming." Interesting fact - three years ago, Bill Gates announced that in 2006 the problem of spam would be solved. However, it has only worsened since.
