Postini looks back on 2007
Posted by Adam Swidler, Product
Marketing Manager, Postini
For years now, anti-spam efforts have been like a game of checkers
played at night. The bad guys make their move, Postini responds,
and the majority of our customers are pleasantly oblivious to the
fact that as much as 90 percent of their incoming mail is spam.
This year, it became a game of chess. Data from Postini data
centers shows that virus attacks hit record levels, spam
percentages in Europe are catching up with global trends, and the
volume of spam became more volatile as spammers dramatically varied
their tactics, as seen in this graph:
