The UK's most spammed man
Found on IT Wire on Friday, 04 July 2008
An anti-spam outfit in the UK has compiled a list of the top five most spammed individuals in the UK. Three of them use Orange as their Internet Service Provider, and the most spammed man gets an average of 44,001 junk emails on a daily basis.
Come on, that is 1,338,363 pieces of spam every month or 16,060,365 junk email messages going to this one chap every year! This chap is clearly doing something wrong when it comes to safe surfing.
I wonder why this guy obviously never thought about doing something about it. There is software which will pre-filter your inbox while you download, cleaning out most of the spam. Even if he wasn't computer-savvy enough, he could simply drop his email and get a new one (although I admit that this is not a real solution).
