60 billion e-mails a day, much of it spam

From MSNBC:

Internet users around the world send an estimated 60 billion e-mails every day and many of these are spam or scam attempts, business leaders said on Tuesday.

Deutsche Telekom Chief Executive Kai-Uwe Ricke said cyber criminals were growing more active and sophisticated, and the vast e-mail traffic meant industry, government and Internet users had to be vigilant and work together.

“This figure was new for me as well — worldwide there are around 60 billion e-mails sent every day,” Telekom Chief Executive Kai-Uwe Ricke told an Internet security conference.
