spam/virus tracking

["lsi" <stuart () cyberdelix net>]

Hi folks,

Last week I posted a chart showing spams/day, with some additional 
speculation regarding the curious drop in spam levels just prior to 
the Sobig-F outbreak.

I received several requests for clarification, etc, so I have since 
created a webpage with all the info on it, including a link to an 
executable.

Updated chart here, showing spam levels slowly recovering after Sobig-
F: http://www.cyberdelix.net/media/spamtrak.gif 

New chart here, showing Sobig-F levels: 
http://www.cyberdelix.net/media/sobig-f.gif

My plan now is to go back through the spam stats and see whether any 
of the other curious dips are also immediately prior to virus 
outbreaks, Sobig variants in particular.

If anyone has a large chunk of spam (20000 messages or so) covering 
the last 2 or 3 years, I'll have it, please send - I need it as a 
single zipped text file. ;)
