After a quiet end to 2008, this year has seen intense spam activity
After seeing a solid dip in overall spam levels in 2008 due to several high profile arrests, there has recently been a global resurgence with the re-emergence of new spam operators.
MessageLabs said it had tracked a 10% increase in spam over the course of April 2009, and according to the latest MessageLab Intelligence Report, spam levels in April rose above the 85% mark for the first time in 19 months.
