Report: 95% of email is spam
Back in 2004, Bill Gates said, "Two years from now, spam will be solved." Here it is, almost 2008, and we're still dealing with the spam problem. In some ways, it's worse than ever. A new study from security firm Barracuda Networks - one of the companies that's supposed to be putting an end to the plague - finds that 95 percent of all e-mail sent this year was spam. That compares to 70 percent at the time Congress passed the US CAN-SPAM act.
