According to new research by security firm Symantec, spam emails have dropped below 50% for the first time since September, 2003.
In June only 49.7% of the billions of messages monitored by Symantec were spam, the company said in its latest monthly threat report. While the amount of spam being sent had been declining for some time, this was the first time since 2003 that it had dipped below 50%.
Since the report was issued, spam levels have continued to decline further, reports the BBC. On 14 July, of the 25 billion messages monitored by Symantec only 46.4% were junk.
It said the decline was caused by action against botnets, networks of hijacked computers that have historically been the route through which spam has been sent.
