Infome is the annual summary on the Kaspersky Email Security in 2010, "a year for the first time there has been a steady drop in the percentage of spam in email traffic," the report said. Within a year the amount of malicious attachments in emails has increased by 2.6. In 2010 the number of malicious messages reached 2.20% (previous year, 0.85%).
At the highest point of the attacks, in August, messages with malicious attachments accounted for 6.29% of email traffic. "It's possible they were just these massive attacks which caused the state security organs should pay more attention to the phenomenon of spam," says the report.
