By: Mathew Petrenko

In 2007 Sophos released its monthly top of global Link Spam Statistics from April to June 2007 which reveals China and the USA as the top lawbreakers when it comes to commonwealths sending junk e-mail. It is not difficult to see that the survey hasn’t been done only to rebuke the US for spam circulation, European countries all in all have higher percentage of unsolicited e-mail than the US do. Here is the leading positions of the catalogue of spam distributors: South Korea 6.5 percent spam, 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 conclusively India with 2.5 percent, if you confront those showings with the showings of 2006 year, you should find out the worldwide 9 percent increment of spam.

According to Carole Theriault, senior sfety consultant of Sophos, people instructed the machines to distribute junk e-mail all over the world and now there are lots of such mechanisms, but using CAPTCHA test and Anti Spam filters addressee can avoid getting the unsolicited e-mail. She has acknowledged that countries should work together to make an attempt to strive against junk e-mail. Paul Ducklin, the chief of technology at Sophos Asia Pacific, comments on the widespread upgrowth of spam: “In a matter of seconds you can see compromised machines send out messages on many differing subjects from shares scams to diet drugs.”. He warns that unduly using of personal computers expands and may be put into practice from literally any location worldwide, even Africa, where computer systems are not as well spread as in USA, can be used as a platform of spam. Protectwebform produced its own survey in the field of unsolicited e-mail. These findings differs from Sopho’s research, but they are very necessary to observe. During several months Protectwebform anatomized unsolicited e-mail messages, which have been received in forms, specially provided by their company. Some prominent unsolicited e-mail topics and spam providers were inserted into the top lists. Regarding countries-spam e-mail-providers, the leading position is held by USA, having 38 percent of overall quantity of junk e-mail messages. Next, with a huge lag, there is China with 5.3 percent, Ukraine with 4.7 percent and Russia with 3.8 percent. From European countries only Spain – 3.2 percent, Germany - 2.8 percent and Italy – 1.7 percent got into the top. Spam-messages promotion into subjects was accomplished by the following method. The experts divided junk e-mail-phrases, distributing them between directories, and then they classified derived directory names, thus determining general themes.

The leading position is held by “Drug and Medications” topic with 24.7 percent, the second position - by “Finance” with 16.6 percent. Another often occurring subjects are “Phones & Ringtones” – 6.8 percent, “Porn” – 5.6 percent and “Gambling” – 4.2 percent.
