    Spam Levels Mysteriously Fall 30% in past Week

    After rising steadily for many years spam levels have mysteriously dropped 30% in the first week of January. According to SoftScan the most plausible explanation is that a botnet has broken down and lost control of it's zombie computers.

    Other possible explanations have been put forward including a large number of infected machines getting replaced by new computers received for Christmas or spammers being isolated by the Asian earthquake. Both explanations are considered unlikely.

    Spam accounted for almost 9 of 10 emails in December.

          Interesting, although I think it maybe just a little silence before the next big wave of spam...

                                                          I think spammers need a break, too.
