Spam canned meat sales

Worldwide phishing attacks and American Spam sales, both climbing. Two completely unrelated forms of unwanted arrival in the same household: one in the inbox, one on the shelf. The graph is, charitably, just two unrelated rises.

Global phishing attacks reported annually grew sharply across this window as bot-driven scams scaled and AI-assisted social engineering matured. Spam sales grew from about 144 million cans annually in 2010 to a record 240 million during the pandemic, with sustained higher levels since. Two completely unrelated growth stories sharing a window because the same thirteen years scaled both a fraud-volume metric and a canned-meat resurgence.

Two completely unrelated kinds of Spam grew. The inbox and the cabinet, both more populated.
