1/24 Topic : Spam Mail^^

[J.J^^]

Strict Controls against Spam Mail Are Needed !

Without exception modern people are suffering from e-mail fatigue. E-mail fatigue is generated by the rapid development of the Internet and ecommerce. Unwanted e-mail known as spam mail, is constantly being sent out to millions of random individuals. As a marketing tool, spam mail has more impact for the dollar than any other advertising media. Therefore, it has been extremely difficult to stop this practice around the world. Although filtering devices are becoming more advanced day by day, spam mails are becoming more intelligent as well.

Since Korea is a leading IT nation with the world's No. 1 high-speed Internet distribution it has worse problems with spam mails. According to a recent study, 36% of all the world's spam mail is sent from the United States. Korea ranks second with a surprisingly high 25%. The third highest country is China with less than 10% of spam mail. Considering that the population of the United States is about six times larger than that of Korea., it is safe to say that Korea is a "Spam Mail Heaven."

The annual damage caused by spam pollution in Korea has been estimated to be at least 1.3 trilion won. This amount is calculated by adding direct expenses such as spam filtering equipment and server expansions to indirect losses such as difficulty of normal mail delivery, spread of worms or viruses, decreasing productivity of individuals and corporations, etc. Furthermore, the leaking of personal information and invasion of privacy  are big problems that can't be calculated precisely.

Spam mail is no longer just a personal problem that bothers individuals. It has become an economic and social crime that results in enormous damages.
