95% of all emails are junk mails

ANI

July 28, 2006

London, July 25(ANI): An email monitoring firm has reported that more than 95% of email is junk and less than 4% is legitimate traffic.

Email security firm Return Path said 99% of the computers it monitors have been taken over by spammers or virus writers.

Return Path reached its estimate by calculating a "reputation score" for the 20 million net addresses of those machines. The root cause of spam is the existence of an ever growing and strengthening network of 'botnets'

Majority of net addresses are not good net citizens, said George Bilbrey, spokesman for Return Path.

A miniscule 1% of net addresses could be said to be legitimate sources of mail.

Matt Peachey, regional director for IronPort, which monitors about a quarter of all mail sent across the net, said its research revealed that about 80% of e-mail came from compromised hosts.

He added that on average only 10% of e-mail was legitimate.

"Perhaps the reality is that the statistics can't be reduced any further unless US home users take action to secure their computers and put a halt to the zombie PC problem," BBC quoted Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant at Sophos.

The US and China top the number one and two spots for number of net users, with US sending out 23% and China20% of junk email. Next in the list come South Korea (7.5%), France (5.2%) and Spain (4.8%). The UK was tenth with 1.8%. (ANI)
