Spam shows sudden slide


spam1 Worldwide spam levels have mysteriously dropped off over the past week, according to managed email provider SoftScan, possibly as a result of a major botnet going out of service.

Spam levels continued to rise in December, but crashed by 30 percent in the first week of January, SoftScan said on Tuesday. The company has seen nothing similar in the past, but believes the most likely explanation is that a botnet - a network of compromised machines - has temporarily lost control of its client systems.

The results are based on SoftScan's analysis of the email systems it scans for about half a million users, mostly international businesses, according to chief technology officer Diego d'Ambra. Techworld.com - Security News - Spam shows sudden slide
