Let’s Hope Things Get Better In 2006

STOP E-MAILING ME THIS JUNK!!!!

ClickZ informs us of highlights from MessageLabs’ Intelligence 2005 Annual Security Report. Bottom line: Spam was up, phishing attacks were up, viruses were up. The only thing down, probably, is overall work efficiency as we all deal with this crap.

According to the report, 1 in every 304 email messages is a phishing scam. I don’t know about your email, but that ratio seems awfully low to me. Seems like every day, I get at least a half-dozen emails imploring me to verify an eBay or Wells Fargo account I don’t have. Feh.

    That is a great post! I agree. At first, I didn’t know I had a Wells Fargo account.

    But now I have people telling me that I need medication and that I can buy it online for nothing. OH and that I need VIAGRA! I didn’t even know that I had a penis!

    Thanks for the chuckle.
