Its Cyber Monday – the first Monday after the American Thanksgiving holiday. Spammers are using Cyber Monday as a hook to hang their email marketing campaigns around, claiming to offer massive discounts on online purchases. The more people who buy goods marketed via spam, the more that the spammers are being encouraged to send junk email. If you receive an unsolicited commercial email dont try, dont buy, don’t reply, and take the Sophos spam pledge. If youre working in an office today you might want to over indulge too much on consumerism.”]
