Massive Increases in Spam

Google has very many products both in development and actively being used by huge numbers of people and organizations. Google is mostly known for Internet search however one product used by tens of thousands of organizations (as well as Google’s Gmail) is Postini which provides ‘email security’.

Yesterday,‘Q2 2009 Spam trends’ information was posted by Google. The magnitude and various types of spam are described in the post and it is well worth reading. Publishing the information as contained within the Google post makes people more aware of what to look in relation to email spam so thanks to Google for raising spam awareness.
