We Send 60 billion e-mails a day
A recent study showed that Internet users around the world send an estimated 60 billion e-mails every day, but many of these are spam or scam attempts. No big shock on that front!
"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. "A large percent of it is spam," Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer added. German Interior Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble warned of the recent growth in "phishing" ?fishing for passwords, often via fake e-mails that especially target online banking.
