The recent success authorities have had in taking down dangerous botnets has helped drive down the amount of spam flooding into business and consumer email accounts. In a report on security in 2011 released late last year, Cisco Systems found a “steep decline” in the volume of spam since August 2010, with the number of spam messages falling from 379 billion a day to 124 billion. And the picture was pretty good in the United States, which dropped from being the No. 1 source for spam in 2010 to No. 9 in 2011, according to Cisco. The amount of money generated annually from spam also was cut in half, dropping to about $500 million. However, that doesn’t mean that the security threat from spam is disappearing. According to a survey released in March by GFI Software, almost half of the U.S. businesses responding to the survey said they had experienced data breaches due to employees clicking on malicious emails, and 70 percent said their anti-spam solutions are marginally effective at best. Forty-four percent of respondents said their organizations had sustained a data breach due to spam email, 52 percent said the volume of spam flowing into their organizations had grown over the past year, and 32 percent said it remained the same. Seventy-two percent of respondents said they receive too much spam. So what can business workers do to protect themselves against malicious and dangerous emails? eWEEK has assembled a few ideas here that security professionals and IT administrators can use as a checklist to help stop the next potential data breach.

In the mobile space, it’s tough for some companies to get noticed. Companies like Apple, Research In Motion and Nokia tend to have their names plastered all over the place, while other firms, like Pantech and LG, hope to stand out from time to time. The only surefire way to be noticed nowadays is to offer up a high-quality smartphone that combines powerful features and a slick design. There are several smartphones on the market right now that deliver on that combination and see their sales soar because of it. However, there are just as many smartphones that, for one reason or another, just aren’t delivering the same value proposition as their high-powered alternatives. In the process, they’re left to hope that they can stay afloat. In the following slides, both sides of the coin, winners and losers, will be on display. For every high-quality, top-notch smartphone, another of lesser quality will be listed. And for those who might not agree, the best part is, all the following devices are shipping now, although smartphone shoppers should check availability for their favorite models. They should be able to at least try out the handsets themselves at local dealer stores to find out if the following assessments are spot on or fall short. Take a look at the five winning and five losing smartphones that are on store shelves now.
