Spam increased dramatically in April compared to the same month last year, a new survey has revealed.
Junk emails accounted for a staggering 93 per cent of all email traffic in the UK compared to only 62 per cent last April, according to email-monitoring company Ipswitch.
Healthcare-related spam emails accounted for over a third of unsolicited messages, followed by stock-market tips and phishing emails.
According to Ipswitch, the level of pornographic spam is going down, accounting for only five per cent of spam in April.
?The importance of having an efficient antispam filter that is flexible, extensible and provides automatic updates 24x7 is now more important than ever,? said Chris Greaves, Ipswitch sales director for Northern Europe.
