Should probably add [2010] to the title since several of the examples were from a 2010 copy of the Economist.
It’s interesting to look back in time to see how email spam was still top of the mind in 2010, enough for the Economist to write about it then, considering pg’s “A Plan for Spam” [1] was written 8 years earlier in 2002.
