Viagra, Cialis and other male enhancement emails are currently adding up to 95% of spam for some of our client’s accounts.
Maybe it’s related to the holiday spirit, or perhaps spammers having a gap in paying clients and thus reverting to the old bread and butter campaigns.
It might even have something to do with the recent announcement regarding disruption to Mega-D Botnet’s command and control servers.
Potentially such disruption could cause the individual PCs within the bot-net to default to pre-programmed default campaigns.
The overwhelming volume combined with the consistency and simplicity of the emails certainly makes this a possibility.
Fortunately, they’re easy to filter, but the volume is impressive just the same.
