[The Chosun Ilbo, May 19 2008] Spam Soars to 95% of E-Mails Sent

The number of spam mails sent during the first quarter this year broke all records after a series of hacker attacks left the personal information of hundreds of thousands exposed.

The computer security firm Jiransoft on Sunday said a sample survey of customers revealed that spam mails accounted for 94.5 percent of e-mails sent from January to March, the highest percentage since the company started the survey in 2005.
