“It is appalling that the language which is connecting the whole world is also connecting us with spammers. It has emerged as a serious concern and the world needs to be careful on their every activity on the web as attacks are clearly more attentive that you are,” said Dhanya Thakkar, Managing Director, APAC - Trend Micro.
