"It is important to identify the major contributors to the volume of spam so that the industry can take action against them, and our latest Security Labs Report provides a detailed percentage of spam by Botnet origin," says company vice president of technical strategy Bradley Anstis. "At the same time, M86 wants to help security professionals remain vigilant in their own organizations against the increasing exploitation of trust on social networking sites."
