In October, spammers continued to actively use the names of known companies to propagate malicious ZIP files.
Several mass missions have been recorded that offer rather unusual, not to say exotic, services for love spells or for career enhancement as well as other forms of white and black magic.
There were significantly more missions emails which offered souvenirs with the logos of well-known companies, but also the range of products was greater than ever. These mass mailings were distributed in almost every major language.
Of course enough spams involve holidays for Halloween days and upcoming Christmas and New Year's Eve.
In addition, spammers exploit the conflict in Syria in an attempt to trick unsuspecting users to send money.
