June 11th kicks off the 2010 FIFA World Cup, and not surprisingly, we're seeing a rise in related spam.
It's still just a small percentage of spam overall (under 2%) but when comparing the first three days from the last six months, we see a doubling in volume and 74 times the number of hits on related keywords from January to June.
As the tournament continues from June to July 11th, we expect to see more related threats.
A good example? SEO poisoning.
Currently, "World Cup printable bracket" is a dangerous search term.
