The world’s Top 10 Spammers!
Dr. Smile 21 August, 2008
(2) Comment The world’s top 10 spamming countries account for 55 per cent of the total global spam volume, says Secure Computing, a public company that provides enterprise security solution, in its Internet Threats Report.
Spam is the unwanted e-mail messages that you find in your mail box. It is primarily electronic junk mail sent to your e-mail account or even your cellphone.
Spammers are continuing to use pop culture and current events (US elections, Olympics, etc) to entice end users into responding or clicking on links whose sole purpose is to download malware.
The Secure Research report says that there was a 45 per cent increase in the average number of porn sites found daily since January 2008.
50 pre cent of all Web sites’ content is now in non-English languages, and this too is adding to the growing spam volume.

Who created Akismet?
Dr. Smile 24 March, 2008
(3) Comment Well the question here is, why was Akismet created?
According to wiki: Akismet is a spam filtering service 
Even i was enthralled before activating the plugin but as soon i make it live on this blog, there comes the flock of spam. I was literally shaken by the number of spam comments, would you believe: 528 spam comments under 5 minutes
My goodness, i feel spam loves Akismet now and in order to keep away from spam we got to keep away from Akismet. Its been just 10 minutes or so i installed Akismet and here i am, flushing out my spammy nerves. I would wait for a day and check out, rather than uninstalling right now.
I wanted to post a screenshot of the spam comments, but that would be very disgusting to see al those viagra, enlargement, cheap software kinda comments. Anyways, you all would have come across this typpa situation, do suggest what should my next move be!
