  • #8: Causing billion dollar losses daily around the world for lack of productivity[click]
  • #9: Infecting millions of computers[click]
  • #10: And affecting users who lose money as result of stolen credentials[click]
  • #11: For each 5 mails sent,[click]4 are spam.[click]
  • #45: and fight this serious problem everyway we can.
