Online Casino Sites Have Low Spam Record

According to a report by Websense Security Laboratories, websites linked to online gambling make up less than four percent of world spam emails. The recent report from the US-based internet security firm states that the second half of 2007 saw a large increase in Storm attacks, which are a combination of worms, Trojan Horses, bots and spam agents. Storm attacks are well planned, resilient and difficult for firewalls to prevent. As a result, the attacks infected millions of machines worldwide, exposing legions of users and organisations who go online without adequate protection. Web attacks during the second half of 2007 continued to increase and evolve as more and more legitimate websites were compromised by attackers, the report found. Websense's ThreatSeeker technology scans more than 600 million websites a week, searching for malicious code. In addition, the company's Hosted Email Security system scans more than 350 million emails a week looking for email security threats. In the last six months of 2007, ThreatSeeker determined that a stunning 87 percent of email messages sent worldwide were spam. Of this number, however, just 3.84 percent were linked to online gambling websites. Source:http://www.casinomeister.com/
