Detailed statistics of spam received in a month in February 2008
January 22nd, 2009 Posted in random
How much spam do you get? I fell over the old image detailing the amount (click it for a bigger version), type and other cool statistics of spam received by someone in the beginning of 2008. There are some cool statistics like “most used name”, “long time without receiving a single spam message (suprisingly short I think btw) and more.
Looking back at how much spam I have been receiving, I think in the past year, the amount of spam in my Google Apps account (= Gmail for people who own a domain – hosted email really) has decreased to about half. I think me cancelling one of my domain names had something to do with it since some mailadresses on the old domain previously forwarded to my Google Apps account was a healthy supplier. So it seems now that usually there’s about 130 spam mails in my spamfolder (the folder contains spam mail received in the last 30 days after which it is automatically deleted)
So read below and tell me how your spam count has changed since last year? more? less? same? vegetarian? “I don’t do email”? “email schmemail, I use facebook” or what?
