spam is up
i started an experiment a few days ago. i noticed that my spam mail has been inching up in quantity. its not uncommon to receive spam these days so now i get to notice how much is coming in. i took a screenshot of my mail folders last 23rd of october. those 250 million+ of you who has yahoo! mail would be familiar with this. the thing shows 7100 in the bulk folder. that’s where yahoo! sends what it thinks is spam. i normally get around 3.5k - 4k in a month so i know the number of spam is really up.
the next screenshot was taken on 27 october. and its shows 9658 in the bulk folder. that’s more than 2100 mails in five days.
something’s up.
