I was cleaning my spam folder out just now and noticed that I had upwards of 10000 pieces of spam. The number seemed hard to believe because I typically keep about a year’s worth of spam around in case I need to retrain my spam filter. Usually, that means I’ve got around 4000 spam mails.
So I checked things out: for the 11 months from January 2010 thru November 2010, I had about 4000 spam mails. Since then, I’ve had almost 6000. So in less than 3 months time, I’ve received over a typical years worth of spam.
Guess the spam generators have kicked into high gear.
