History of email spam : ウィキペディア英語版 | History of email spam
(詳細はMonty Python in a now legendary sketch from their Flying Circus TV series, in which a group of Vikings sing a chorus of "SPAM, SPAM, SPAM..." at increasing volumes, the historic significance lies in it being adopted to refer to unsolicited commercial electronic mail sent to a large number of addresses, in what was seen as drowning out normal communication on the Internet. According to Brad Templeton, founder of ClariNet Communication Corporation, the first business on the Internet, the first email spam was from 1978, and was sent out to all users on ARPANET (several hundred users). It was an ad for a presentation by Digital Equipment Corporation. It was not until 1993 that a USENET posting was called “spam.” In an attempt to implement a retro-moderation system that allowed posts to be deleted after they had been posted, Richard Depew accidentally created a monster. His software, ARMM, had a bug in it which caused it to post 200 messages to news.admin.policy. Readers of this group were making jokes about the accident, one person referring to the incident as “spamming.” USENET seemed like a natural place to spam. Anyone could see all of the available groups and post to all of them relatively easily. On January 18, 1994, the first large-scale USENET spam occurred. A message with the subject “Global Alert for All: Jesus is Coming Soon” was cross-posted to every available newsgroup. Its controversial message sparked many debates all across USENET, and according to Templeton, the student who posted this message did get in trouble. In April 1994, spamming first became a business practice. Two lawyers from Phoenix, Canter and Siegel, hired a rogue programmer to post their “Green Card Lottery- Final One?” message to as many newsgroups as possible. What made them different was that they did not hide the fact that they were spammers. They were proud of it, and thought it was great advertising. They even went on to write the book How to Make a Fortune on the Information Superhighway : Everyone’s Guerrilla Guide to Marketing on the Internet and Other On-Line Services. They planned on opening a consulting company to help other people post similar advertisements, but it never took off.
