Significant Upsurge in Holiday Spam

Consumers are shifting more dollars to Internet shopping this holiday season, and spammers want their piece of the pie. Netriplex, a leading provider of anti-spam technology, released network statistics today showing that spam spiked nearly 30 percent over the past four weeks.

Boston, MA (PRWEB) December 21, 2004 -- Consumers are shifting more dollars to Internet shopping this holiday season, and spammers want their piece of the pie. Netriplex (http://www.netriplex.com), a leading provider of anti-spam technology, released network statistics today showing that spam spiked nearly 30 percent over the past four weeks. With almost $10 billion at stake in online spending during this period, the ramifications for consumers, retailers and email systems are significant.

"The holiday financial hangover that hits consumers becomes much worse when their money has been swindled by a spammer," said Jonathan Hoppe, Chief Technology Officer at Netriplex. "Not only is the consumer ripped off, but legitimate online retailers lose sales which would otherwise be theirs. The holiday season magnifies this problem, but really it exists throughout the year. And the dilemma gets worse every month for consumers and businesses without an effective anti-spam solution."
