Project Honey Pot's 1 Billionth Spam

Adjunct Professor Matthew Prince, developer of Project Honey Pot and CEO of Unspam Technologies, logged Project Honey Pot's billionth email spam message on Wednesday, December 9, 2009 at 06:20 (GMT)

The billionth message was a United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) phishing scam. The spamtrap address to which the message was sent was originally harvested on November 4, 2007 by a particularly nasty harvester responsible for 53,022,293 other spam messages that have been received by Project Honey Pot.
