Today Radicati Market Stats issued its bi-weekly "Radicati Market Stats & Industry Commentary." Especially interesting are the following tidbits on email security:
+ Radicati says worldwide email traffic will increase at 21% annually on the average over the next four years, to reach 195 billion messages per day in 2009.
+ Commercial advertising accounts for 58% of spam traffic.
+ The research firm aniticipates that the number of unique phishing attacks will grow from 51 in 2004 to 404 in 2008. (These figures sound very low to me. But perhaps they are in a better position to know than I am!)
Also, Radicati projects that WLAN hotspots worldwide will grow from 70,000 in 2004 to 873,600 by the end of 2008.
