Google Spam Surge
I thought it was just me, but others are reporting an increase in the amount of spam received in their Google Inbox, as well as increasing false-negatives and false-positives. One person reported in the comments only noticing this in the last weekend, which the graph here from MessageLabs seems to indicate is a/the case.
I wrote briefly a few days ago about how much spam Google had caught in one month, but in the last day and a half, it’s caught over 500 messages so far. That’s 1/12 of what was caught in a whole month before. At this rate, it’ll only take about half a month to fill what I had before.
I have yet to have any false-positives or negatives. Hopefully Google’s on top of this and is working passionately to get things back to normal again, if that’s possible. Then again, maybe there are some new tricks the spammers have learned.
