The overall amount of spam made up 70% of all email messages, which is lower than several other sources estimate, but it must be remembered that Symantec takes samples from their own sources and spam may have already been filtered (at the network level) prior to entering this sample data.
The big talking point of the report is that Pornographic spam now makes up only 3% of all spam monitored by Symantec. This is the lowest percentage makeup ever recorded. Clearly - pornography isn't selling for spammers the same as other products. Perhaps everyone who needs enlarging has got it?
The increase in the amount of spam that uses images continues. As bayesian filters catch more and more text based spam, the spammers have changed their method of attack to sending pictures of words. This allows them to use randomised text to beat the Bayesian filters, but once opened the text is overlapped with an image sending the spammers true message. This is not a new tactic, but it has evolved slightly with the increasingly predominant practice of slanting or distorting the writing on these pictures. This is aimed at defeating OCR(Text recognition) software.
The final trend of note in the Symantec report is that non-english speakers are being targeted more than in the past, particularly by casino based spam. French, German and Italian language casino spam has sen a dramatic rise, and picture based spam targets all languages.
