    5 Amazing Facts About Spam

    There is no need to explain the meaning of the word spam. For sure every Internet user once became a victim of unsolicited bulk messages, junk mail, or commercial e-mail. But let us present you some interesting facts about spam.


    1. Depending on the source, the spam is an acronym for Shoulder of Pork and hAM or SPiced hAM. It is named for canned meat product, first introduced in 1937. The word spam became popular in 1970 due to BBC comedy sketch Monty Python, in which the name of meat product was mentioned 108 times. Later sending an irritating, meaningless block of text was called spamming.


    2. According to Message Labs, spam accounts for over 60 % of all e-mails. Google reports, that at least one third of all Gmail servers are filled with spam. It must also be pointed out, that Bill Gates receives 4 000 000 e-mails per year, most of them spam. At the same time Jef Poskanzer, the owner of the domain name acme.com, is receiving over 1 million spam e-mails per day.


    3. The Cisco Systems analyzed the volume of spam originating from countries worldwide in 2011. The repot ranked them by a percentage of spam volume. The countries with the highest amount of spam sent are India (13.9%), Russia (9.0%) and Vietnam (7.9%).


    4. The Government of Canada approved the world’s toughest anti-spam legislation. The corporations can get fines up to 10 million dollars and individuals up to 1 million dollars for anti-spam law violation.


    5. The first person arrested for spam was Anthony Greco, aged 18, on February 2005. He was accused of sending 1.5 million of unsolicited ads for porn and mortgages. He blackmailed MySpacee.com in order to get marketing contract with them. Anthony was invited for a meeting to discuss the contract terms, where he was arrested.


    Spam has become an integral part of Internet life. Once your e-mail address gets on a spam list, it's almost impossible to remove it. Nevertheless, INP-Software wishes you to get only useful and pleasant messages not only in the Internet, but in a real life too. Let the spam pass you by!

    5 Amazing Facts About Spam

    I still don't see the point, it's not like a massive amount of people fall for these things, but they keep targeting the same email addresses + adding new ones. I wonder how much they make.
