Spam still warped but no longer sexy

The Symantec State of Spam report is always something to look forward to, although it can often make depressing reading. Everyone is plagued by junk mail, filters are straining under the load, and spammers are managing to stay on top of their evil trade by employing cunning new techniques to avoid detection and deletion. A good example being the 38 percent of total global spam by volume seen by the Symantec Probe Network that was image based. Symantec also note that spammers are employing the use of slanted and warped text within the image spam as a method of obfuscation to further successfully confuse anti-spam filters.
