| Spam 2006: Zombies, MySpace, AOL
If spam in your email in-box were massive helpings of slippery, pink meat you were forced to eat—rather than delete—you'd be fat and dead. Digital spam is a time-consuming pig. It's sent in words and pictures unsolicited in hulking quantities to electronic in-boxes. But those words and pictures can be costly. And dangerous. How else could you explain welcoming a zombie into your home? Spam can cause recipients to launch an exploit that secretly turns their PC into a zombie machine for control from an outsider for malicious activity. Your zombie PC can then go out to recruit via spam more zombies—all undetected as you buzz around online for celebrity gossip. And in 2006, there was more spam than ever. Anti-spam companies said spam increased at least 30 percent this year, accounting for up to 90 percent of all emails.
