USA tops spam-spewing list.
In what I would call an unbelievable shocking news, the greatest USA tops the latest spam-spewing list.
Sophos has published its latest report on the top 12 spam-spewing countries for Q4 2005. USA still tops the charts; but for the first time, the country accounts for less than one quarter of all spam relayed.
Dubbed the “dirty dozen”, Sophos’ list of 12 countries in the period from Oct to Dec 2005 has
United States in first position with 24.5 percent,
China with 22.3 percent in second position,
South Korea comes in third with 9.7 percent,
France (5.0 percent),
Canada (3.0 percent),
Brazil (2.6 percent),
Spain (2.5 percent),
Austria (2.4 percent),
Taiwan (2.1 percent),
Poland (2.0 percent),
Japan (2.0 percent) and
Germany (1.8 percent) come in succession with other countries accounting for 20.3 percent.

And where is Nigeria ? The question is called for, with the kind of treatment Nigeria gets on the internet as in regards to spamming or maybe it would be correctly termed as the unfair attention Nigeria gets as in regards to fraudulent e-mails, but in reality Nigeria has never been in any charts top list except maybe for corruption within the country. Nigeria does not deserve such discrimination on the internet by the same people who happen to be the best at it, since Nigeria hardly appear’s on any charts not to talk of even coming at the top’s on the abuse of web technology.
