After one of the quietest spam periods in Commtouch recorded history, spammers are clearly back at work.  The quiet period neatly matches the Christmas-New Year holiday season but also seems to add the Russian New Year and Russian Orthodox Christmas (Friday 7^th of January).  Outbreaks resumed on the 9^th.  The graph here shows received global traffic in Commtouch’s GlobalView Network.

Thanks to our great Partner Commtouch for this information.
