Impermium Launches Social Spam Index; Finds That Up To 40 Percent Of Online IDs Are Fake

In June, we covered the launch of Impermium, a young startup aimed at zapping the Internet's social spam wherever it hides. Not only is the startup bringing the heat to user generated spam like spammy comments, hacked accounts, and fraudulent registrations, but the startup also happens to be founded by Mark Risher, Yahoo's former "Spam Czar", as well as former Yahoos Vish Ramarao and Naveen Jamal. These guys have significant experience fighting spam, part of the reason they've already signed on investors like Accel Partners, AOL Ventures, Charles River Ventures, Freestyle Capital, Greylock Discovery Fund and Morado Ventures.
