I dunno. For those of us who have been on-net forever, with well archived and distributed e-mail addresses and parent zones, your assertion is clearly true.
I find it very interesting how the spam volume to any of my various mail accounts is inversely proportional to two factors: 1: Age. 2: How many messages I have sent from it. I've got a yahoo account that is only used as a account of last resort/alternate technical contact for zones I own that almost NEVER gets spam. I have NEVER sent an e-mail from it, and only Register.com and Godaddy have ever been given it. OTOH, I have the "when I register for free stuff" yahoo account that is deluged. I think, averaged, the number may be correct. > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] > On Behalf Of Rich Kulawiec > Sent: Wednesday, February 10, 2010 5:29 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [funsec] 95% of User Generated Content is spam or > malicious > > On Sun, Feb 07, 2010 at 05:57:45PM -0500, Robert Portvliet wrote: > > According the Websense Security Labs 'state of Internet security > report' 95% > > of User Generated Content is spam or malicious & 85% of all email is > spam. > > 85% is way too low.
