Spam Statistics

The regular Link Spam Statistics survey has proved that China and USA have a tainted reputation of holding the outstanding positions in the list of spammers. It is not difficult to realize that the inspection hasn’t been done only to rebuke the US for unsolicited e-mail circulation, European countries all in all have higher percentage of junk e-mail than the US do. The worldwide unsolicited e-mail is stably going up and in relation to 2006 it has rised by 9 percent. The leaders of junk e-mail list with the exception of USA and China are: South Korea with 6.5 percent junk e-mail, then Poland with 4.8 percent, Germany with 4.2 percent, Brazil 4.1 percent, France 3.3 percent, Russia 3.1 percent, Turkey 2.9 percent, UK with 2.8 percent, Italy with 2.8 percent and India with 2.5 percent.

According to Carole Theriault, major security consultant of Sophos, people stydied the machines to circulate junk e-mail all over the world and presently there are a lot of such mechanisms, but using CAPTCHA test and Anti Spam procedures addressee can avoid receiving the unsolicited e-mail. She has admitted that countries need working together to make a global effort to strive against junk e-mail. ”This is no surprise in fact that compromised computers can send round junk e-mail all over the world” said the chief of high technology at Sophos Asia Pacific, Paul Ducklin. He warns that spammers are got ready to use technologies illegally from all over the world in order to send spam. “The map shows activity nearly all over the world.” he annotated, “Africa may not yet be very equipped, but it’s certainly wired enough to be useful to the spam providers.”. Protectwebform produced its own survey in the field of junk e-mail. These findings differs from Sopho’s survey, but they are very necessary to know. The junk e-mail test was fulfilled by the next method: many experimental e-mail boxes were done and then they studied quantity and origins of entered unsolicited e-mail massages. In a result of examination of those spam messages and sender IP-addresses they found the leaders of spam subjects and spam distributors. Concerning countries-junk e-mail-providers, the top position is held by USA, having 38 percent of overall amount of spam e-mail messages. Next, with a big gap, comes China with 5.3 percent, Ukraine with 4.7 percent and Russia with 3.8 percent. From European countries just Spain – 3.2 percent, Germany - 2.8 percent and Italy – 1.7 percent got into the top. Unsolicited e-mail-messages distribution into themes was implemented in the following way. Incoming spam messages were classified by their topics to several directories so that in conclusion the list of them could be created.

The first place is occupied by “Drug and Medications” subject with 24.7 percent, the second - by “Finance” with 16.6 percent. Another popular subjects are “Cell Phones & Ringtones” – 6.8 percent, “Porn” – 5.6 percent and “Gambling Institutions” – 4.2 percent.
