The latest study on spam trends appears to show that financial spam is outpacing pharmaceutical spam - though, honestly, so much of both is coming out that it's really hard to imagine that this matters at all. Meanwhile, it seems that porn spam is increasingly less interesting to spammers as the numbers have been on a noticeable decline for quite some time. No matter what, though, it appears that CAN-SPAM has done absolutely nothing to slow down the amount of spam sent.

Should Companies Be Sued For Allowing
Pornographic Spam? 12/03/2003 11:06 AM
Here come the lawyers. This topic has been discussed before, but as the spam problem gets worse, more lawyers are sensing a chance to make a little extra money, so it's coming up again. Lawyers are now looking to sue companies that allow pornographic spam to reach employee in-boxes saying that it creates an unsafe working environment. Of course, companies already know what a pain spam is to their employees, and they would love to stop it. The problem is that spam is very difficult to stop effectively, and many spam-stopping solutions create additional problems as well (whether its additional maintenance costs or lost legitimate emails). Blaming the spam on the companies that don't use filters seems a bit misplaced. The people who should be blamed are the spammers themselves. Besides, in most cases, the spam is due to someone letting their email address become public. If these lawsuits are valid, then it actually will encourage people to be fast and loose with their email address to get as much porn spam as possible - just to sue their employers.

Porn Spam Is So 2003

Porn Spam Is So 2003 12/29/2004 01:55 PM
Late last year, we noted that porn spam seemed to be on the decline according to various studies, as things in the "healthcare" (defined very loosely) were becoming more popular among spammers. This year, porn spam tried to make a comeback, but couldn't seem to hold out against other types of spam, including the ever-present Rolex spam. In the end, it appears that porn spam is on the decline. A year end report notes that barely any porn spam made it onto the list of top junk email for 2004. According to the article, part of the reason is that spam filters have become much better at filtering out the pron spam (though, for some reason, the article suggests that the filters couldn't stop "HOT LESBIAN ACTION" from getting through to many inboxes). Right at the top of the list, however, were spam promising prescriptions for Vioxx -- which makes me wonder if most of those came before or after Vioxx was banned from the market.

Porn Spam Makes A Triumphant Return

Porn Spam Makes A Triumphant Return 02/01/2005 09:43 PM
It's getting tough to tell who you can actually trust when it comes to the various spam surveys about what spam is out there -- as they seldom seem to agree with each other. Just a month ago we were writing about how porn spam clearly seemed to be on the decline, while a new report suggests the amount of porn spam has tripled. Indeed, the studies might agree, as the new one says that porn spam tripled in January from December (when we had noted it slowed). So, apparently, porn spammers suddenly felt that January was the right time to start blasting porn spam again, while financial spam suddenly seemed to be less exciting. On the "always popular" list, "health" or "medical" spam (again, extremely loosely defined) seems to always be in fashion.

Porn Spam Makes A Comeback For The
Summer

Porn Spam Makes A Comeback For The
Summer 08/17/2004 01:29 PM
Last year at about this time, we noted that porn spam seemed to be on the "decline" relative to "healthcare" (read: Viagra) spam. However, this year, the latest study says that porn spam shot up this summer. Who knew these things were seasonal? Actually, this report claims the same thing happened last summer, which goes against what we reported back then (and, yes, it's the same company's study). The discrepancy in the claims may be due to the difference between relative and absolute numbers. The percent of overall spam that was porn may have declined, while the actual number of porn spam may have increased, since other forms of spam increased at an even faster rate. Honestly, though, at this point, when something like 80% of all email is spam, does it really matter how much is porn vs. gambling vs. phishing vs. drugs?

FTC Legalizes Porn Spam - Expect Plenty

FTC Legalizes Porn Spam - Expect Plenty 04/13/2004 02:10 PM
The latest move by our government to legitimize spam by simply adding rules that tell you how to spam properly, is this decision by the FTC that all porn spam must be labeled to say "SEXUALLY-EXPLICIT" (capital screaming required?). Also, such spam cannot contain "graphic material." In other words, porn spammers have just been told it's okay to spam. This should pretty much guarantee that we all start receiving a lot more pornographic spam - though, easily labeled so that anyone glancing over your shoulder (assuming you don't use filters) to check out your inbox will immediately see "SEXUALLY-EXPLICIT" everywhere. I'm a bit surprised they're doing this, considering the recent ridiculous crackdown on "indecency." Not that I have a problem with anyone viewing whatever porn they want - but it should be their choice, and not forced upon them by spammers.

More Rules On How To Spam... This Time
For Porn Spammers 01/29/2004 02:49 AM
Wait just a second. A month ago, we were hearing stories from our elected officials about how spam was supposed to be dead dead dead by now, thanks to the "CAN SPAM" law which would make it illegal to spam. Of course, as we all know, the law wasn't really intended to stop spam at all, but rather to give instructions on how you can spam. Further evidence of that comes today as the FTC is actually releasing new rules for porn spammers on how to spam. They're telling them they need to include a special label. In other words, they can just keep on spamming - as long as they include that one little label. Great way to "stop" spam, huh?

Well, what better way to close out the year than a post about spam? AOL has released their list of "top" spam messages from 2003 which represent the subject lines of the spam they found most often in 2003. At the top of the list, of course, is any subject pitching Viagra. Next up are spam for low mortgage rates, and coming in third is the ever popular porn spam. AOL claims they blocked 500 billion spam messages - an average of about 40 per day per user.
