Who hasn't received a spam message?


There are billions of such emails produced every second from millions of servers around the world. Spammers are smart, they hack into computers and send billions of emails from that computer. The user of this computer would absolutely have no idea that his computer is being used as a server to send spam mails. The worst part is that the spammers would be using his contact list as the destination emails as well. This is the work of smart spammers.


There are some spammers like the Australian who was caught spamming. He is not smart enough to hack into people’s computer to generate spam emails. But instead, he rented 35 servers in Netherlands to send billions of spam emails. He was spending around $10,000 US Dollars for this operation. The Australian police have taken this man into custody for sending billions of spam emails. This billions figure is minute compared to the amount of spam generated everyday. The penalty he will be paying is huge and if you are thinking about spamming, think hard about the consequences.
