Description
The Spamdemic Map (version 3.21) by Clueless Mailers, a geographic visualization from 2002 mapping the interconnected network of spam email operators and their relationships. The map reveals how incestuous the spam industry was, connecting spammers, their hosting providers, and affiliate networks. It was published as both a web image and a 35" x 23" printed poster on heavy semi-gloss stock. The project documented the network topology of the early spam ecosystem, tracing who worked with whom in the commercial spam industry at a time when unsolicited email was becoming a major internet problem.
