Has anyone else noticed a sudden increase in the amount of porn-type spam they are getting? At least six people, including one journalist, have been asking me what's up. I've heard from both academics and folks in the private sector, and all seem to indicate a sudden (past 5-7 days) rise in this stuff. I personally have noticed it as well. Anyone know what's going on? ---------------- Laura J.
