Quick Facts:
On November 29, 2005, Postini detected and blocked a massive outbreak of the Sober virus. Over a seven-day period, the Sober virus generated a 1500% increase in virus-infected traffic and Postini quarantined more than 218 million Sober-infected messages. Postini ultimately stopped more than 1.2 billion viruses over the next 30 days, making this outbreak the largest virus attack on record.
While spam levels as a percentage of all E-mail traffic remained consistently high---between 75% - 80%--- spam as a proportion of all traffic showed a decline toward the end of 2005 as activity shifted to a higher proportion of virus and phishing activity versus spam.
