At least, that’s what the FTC says. According to the FTC, ISPs are doing a better job at protecting their customers from spam.
This comes as a big surprise to me. I have two email addresses I use for most of my email, and my own domain for personal email. The addresses I use for most of my email are a Gmail account and a Yahoo! mail account.
For months I was getting almost no spam at either account. Sure, I’d get spam that both Yahoo! and Google were catching and putting into their spam folders, but aside from that, nothing in my inbox.
Now, I get 10 – 20 spam emails a day that manage to get past the Gmail and Yahoo! email spam blocking. This tells me, contrary to what the FTC says, that spammers are getting better at hiding themselves.
It’s a neverending battle.
