Are 90% of emails sent today really spam?

A new online report claims that 9 out of 10 emails sent out since June 2006 are spam, and come from criminal gangs out to get your money either through some kind of scam, be it for pain killing drugs or pills to enhance your sexual prowess. No wonder there's been so much spam lately!

Have you noticed a pretty dramatic increase in spam over the past few months?

The spammers have been very active, controlling bot-nets around 100,000 compromised computers, giving an attacker a vast amount of computer storage and resources with which to do mind numbingly silly things like send out spam.
