Seasonal spamming
Increase in spam in lead up to holiday season.
A recent study carried out by Corvigo, suggests that the volume of spam in
our inboxes showed a marked increase over the lead up to the holiday
season. The three-month study showed a 64 per cent rise in the volume of
spam since September
Whether this is a seasonal phenomenon or an
indication of the overall rise in spam is not clear, but spammers will have
to find new topics once the window of opportunity for 'personalised letters
to Santa' has passed for another year.
