In case you weren't sure if the amount of junk mail on the net is increasing, a new study from sophos confirms it. According to the study, 92.3% of all email sent during the first three months of this year was spam. It also found that over 23,000 new spam sites were created during the same time period. That's roughly one every 3 seconds. There's also a new country joining the ranks as one of the top 5 spammers. Turkey has take over the number 3 spot. Russia and the good ol USA are still second and first, respectively. If the Internet is the information superhighway, spammers are the potholes, and like the real ones, they just never go away.
