95% of Forum Spam Attacks!

[vbresults]

I was browsing through the records of our cloud anti-spam plugin and the gap between unique attackers and attack attempts stuck out like a sore thumb. I had to bust out the calculator.

Approximately 95% of forum spam attacks come from a "top 5%" of spammers. The remaining 5% of spam comes from the "majority" 95% of spammers. Wild!

Since we just broke 1 million blocked attacks recently, the numbers are very accurate.
