Sophos Reveals Latest Spam-Relaying Countries

An anonymous reader writes "For the first time in more than two years, the United States has failed to make inroads into its spam-relaying problem. The U.S. remains stuck at the top of the chart and is the source of 23.2 percent of the world's spam. Its closest rivals are China and South Korea, although both of these nations have managed to reduce their statistics since Q1 2006. The vast majority of this spam is relayed by 'zombies,' also known as botnet computers."

You sure it wasn't just america that accually responds to the spam advertising. I mean who else but Americans need a larger p3n1s, or wants vi4gra? I would like to see a statistic on just that, how much of the world wide spam is targeted at Americans.

So much for the US

Gi! I thought the US fights spam for all of us around the world, but it is actually sending us the spam.

Oh my, what else I should know.
