In Europe, Auto Spam Translation Kicks In

An anonymous reader writes "While spam levels globally remain at a two-year high of approximately 90 percent, some European countries are seeing levels of over 95%. According to a new MessageLabs report (PDF here), countries such as Germany, France and the Netherlands are being heavily targeted by spammers with automated spam translation techniques. The use of automated translation services enables multiple-language spam runs and is responsible for a 13% increase in spam levels in these countries since May."

USA originates twice as much spam as China.. the current most prolific spammer in the world is.... American (thanks to CAN SPAM).

Whereas it's much more multinational than it used to be there's one country always at the top of the list.
