Email Junking – On a High!

A web security firm in the US has recently published reports stating that nearly 95 percent of emails sent in the year 2007 were 'spam mails'. And, expectedly, this form of junk advertising is loathed by recipients of such mails.

Despite the government's constant efforts in restricting the flow of unwanted messages, the amount of junk email is just growing every year. Sanctioned penalties for spammers has also not been able to check this nuisance.

And, the worst part is, spammers' identities are not traceable, as they use other people's websites or computers to send junk messages to online users.

The World Wide Web is encountering a 'spam war' between spammers and security vendors, with the latter voicing the need for round-the-clock defense operations to monitor such activities.

This new high in email junking will cost the web very dear, as most of its users are put off by this constant invasion of their inboxes. The report clearly states that more than anything else, recipients find it highly irritating. Whether this menace will be controlled or not, only time will tell.
