Unseen Spam Costs Rising
Filed in archive Spam by Sue Walsh on February 25, 2008

20% of the world's population now has internet access and broadband access is becoming increasingly accessible. The larger the amount of people who have such access becomes, the faster botnets can spread their malware and spam.
ENISA polled 30 ISPs in 19 countries on how they secure their services and fight spam:
Every provider filtered incoming traffic and more than 90% filtered outgoing traffic, up 15% and 46% respectively from a year ago. On average, providers used five different spam filtering methods..
Almost every provider published contact details for the users to report violations, up from 60%
The report also states that providers have become more proactive and have stopped relying on customer complaints to detect spam, but fewer took the time to try and figure out where the spam comes from.
