An organization I've had the pleasure and opportunity to work with in the past is the European Network and Information Security Agency -- referred to as ENISA. ENISA has produced some excellent thought leadership and reports I highly recommend you review and at least be aware. They are currently working on Industrial Controls/SCADA security and have also published some interesting reports on Cloud Security.
Today ENISA announced release of the ENISA Threat Landscape, Mid-year 2013 report. They describe this as a "taste" of current developments related to the 2013 Threat Landscape.
In the report they include a figure of the top 16 threats and a comparison of their 2012 and 2013 Threat Landscape reports including whether the trend is increasing, stable or declining.
The good news is that they show SPAM as declining; however, 13 of the 16 threats (or 81 percent) are increasing. (Corrected Count/percentage)

For instance, the top five threats listed that are increasing include:
- Drive-by exploits
- Worms/Trojans
- Code Injection
- Exploit Kits
- Botnets
The report is only five pages long and is an easy and interesting read.
