Mortgage spam rockets
Spammers take note of US interest rate cuts.
Mortgage spam saw a significant increase last month in conjunction with the
interest rate cuts announced by the US Federal Reserve.
According to
researchers at Commtouch, mortgage spam rose to 10% of all spam as spammers
took note of the fact that millions of US mortgages became eligible for
refinancing as a result of the lowered interest rates. According to
Commtouch, finance-related spam accounted for a mere 2% of all spam
subjects in the fourth quarter of 2007.
