China Cleans Up Spam Problem

angry tapir writes "It's been a few years coming, but it looks like China may finally be getting a handle on its spam problem. Once the largest source of the world's spam, China has been gradually fading off the list of the world's top spam-producers. Right now Cisco Systems' IronPort group ranks it at number 18 in terms of spam-producing countries. That's a big drop from two years ago, when it consistently ranked in the top five."

Our statistics

[dskoll]

Our stats show China at #8. The top 10 for us are:

• United States at about 33%
• Russia at about 9.5%
• India at about 8.8%(Maybe there is something to the outsourcing joke?
• Canada at 6%
• Ukraine at 4.4%
• Romania at 2.4%
• Brazil at 2.4%
• China at 1.3%
• Vietnam at 1.3%
• Poland at 1.3%

  The last three are all 1.3% because of rounding, but the order really is China - Vietnam - Poland.
