By: Mathew Petrenko

In 2007 Sophos made public its monthly roll of global Link Spam Statistics from April to June 2007 that finds out that China and the USA are the utmost lawbreakers when it comes to commonwealths distributing spam. It is easy to understand that the survey hasn’t been done only to rebuke the US for spam distribution, European countries in total have higher percentage of unsolicited e-mail than the US do. When corresponded to 2006, this quarter noticed a worldwide 9 percent increment of spam. South Korea came in third position on the top having 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 conclusively India with 2.5 percent.

As the main security consultant of Sophos, Carole Theriault, claimed “Once a mechanism is compromised, it is commonly used to send round spam for a multiplicity of campaigns. And we should use the CAPTCHA system and Anti Spam methods to distinguish messages whish has been sent by real users from unsolicited e-mail messages.”. She has acknowledged that states should work together to make an attempt to strive against spam. Paul Ducking gave his view on increase the quantity of junk e-mail distributors: “Spam messages include many topics from offering various services to selling some goods.”. The junk e-mail business doesn’t require a lot of investment to keep it, so illegal spam companies may be organized in any location and it’s been taking place hourly. Not only in the countries with dense population and high level of computer systems evolution like Africa. Protectwebform produced its own survey in the realm of spam. These findings differs from Sopho’s survey, but they are very interesting to notice. Over many months they examined unsolicited e-mail messages, that have been received in forms, specially provided by their company. Some conspicuous e-mail spam subjects and spam distributors were inserted into the top catalogues. Regarding states-junk e-mail-distributors, the leading position is held by USA, having 38 percent of overall amount of spam e-mail messages. Next, with a great lag, comes China with 5.3 percent, Ukraine with 4.7 percent and Russia with 3.8 percent. The European countries are: just Spain – 3.2 percent, Germany - 2.8 percent and Italy – 1.7 percent got into the top. Spam e-mail-messages circulation into subjects was performed by the following method. They divided spam-phrases, distributing them between sections, and then they grouped derived section names, thus determining most often found subjects.

The first place is occupied by “Drug and Medications” theme with 24.7 percent, the second position - by “Finance” with 16.6 percent. Other popular themes are “Mobile Phones & Ringtones” – 6.8 percent, “Adult” – 5.6 percent and “Online casinos” – 4.2 percent.
