News: Spam spike signals more junk e-mail:
"An e-mail security firm has warned that spammers may be increasing their assault on Web users, after detecting a rise in the amount of unsolicited junk messages sent across the Internet.

FrontBridge, which provides outsourced e-mail filtering services for companies, said this week that it detected a 15 percent increase in spam between the 14th and 18th October--which it believes is a sign that organized spammers are ratcheting up their activities.

'Users who until this point had remained spam-free are now reporting multiple messages per day,' said Craig Whitney, FrontBridge's European director. 'This latest jump in the volume of spam being generated just adds to the load that enterprises have to manage every day,' Whitney added. "
