Spam Response Rate

1 in 12.5 Million responses to spam -- but it is still highly profitable. If the spam was just selling products with $10 profit per sale, it would still be highly profitable. But when you are stealing credit card numbers and identities, it makes spam hugely profitable.

Spammers usually run off of botnets of infected computers. Why people don't update (and run) anti-virus programs regularly is beyond me. Why we haven't defeated spam yet is another issue.
