Subject: RE: [Asrg] ASRG as a source of spam?
The guys sending penis creams, porno adverts, money making
schemes, offers to sell hijacked software, identity theft
scams etc. have this type of connection.
Do you have valid data that supports this claim?
The quantities of 'spam' from remotely legitimate businesses
is such a small proportion of the total that we can worry
about that after the criminal spam senders are locked up.
Upon what data is this statement based?
For example, Brightmail spam categorization data shows:
Products 25%
Adult 19%
Financial 20%
Scams 9%
Internet 7%
Health 7%
Leisure 6%
Spirtual 4%
Other 3%
Ken S.(or others from Brightmail): Can you provide a little more explanation
about how these numbers are derived? For example, what is the sample size?
Are messages classified based on content lists? How are the content lists
created?
Anyone else have similar stats?
