Since the first message in 1971 email has become an increasinglypopular method of communication. Still yearly growing in volume it is therefore notlikely to disappear anytime soon. Unfortunately since the first spam in 1978 thespam volume is increasing even more rapidly every year and is currently responsiblefor around 90% of all email traffic.
Initially spam started as simple plain text messages. Then, to start avoiding theearly filters, spammers started to scramble the text. With text based filteringbecoming more advances the spammers switched to images. Then to avoid OCR textrecognition they started to layer the images and cut it in several pieces. Morerecently we have seen PDF spam, Word spam and spammers keep improving theirtechnologies (since the anti-spam community does the same).
Many security companies have predicted such new types of spam messages to startflooding the email boxes in 2008. These include MP3/audio and video spam messages.When looking back at 2007 however, PDF spam was expected to become the new standard.Against expectations, PDF spam disappeared quickly because it was too resourceintensive for the spammers to send, and too time-consuming for the recipient toopen. Although the first audio and video spam messages have been seen in the wildalready, SpamExperts Corporation does not expect them to become a major threadanytime soon. Using advanced technologies they are fairly easy to intercept andtherefore spammers will more likely remain using plain-text and images as their maincommunication tool.
Since the spam filters are increasingly getting better, and many companies switch tocommercial antispam solutions, spammers will have to send out even larger volumes ofmessages to reach the critical amount of responding consumers necessary for aprofit.
