The top spamming nations revealed - Q1 2011

Asia leapfrogs Europe to become top spam continent while the USA remains the world’s top spam relaying country

How about top recipients? Some days my Gmail spam box makes me feel like I'm making a disproportionate contribution...

JerryMungo · May 11, 2011

I'm guessing laws come into effect here - whats considered spam by some countries may not by others?
Just curious.

Do they include Russia as part of "Asia"?

No China?

No Nigeria?

I never received any spam in Gmail, until my sister's Gmail account was compromised last week. Everybody in her contact list received one spam message from her address. I changed her password within the hour it happened, but since then receive one spam email every day.

Funny way to harvest email addresses to spam

SA in at number 51??? I guess they do not consider PR emails as spam then.

Other - 42.8%

That would be Nigeria?

And I thought we had it bad in SA - I hate to imagine how much spam some people must receive then

Just what I was thinking. With the tons of lotteries I have won in recent weeks, I could have sworn the Nigerians would have been there. Or is it simply a case of not tracing the carp?
