USA gets better but still top spam source
Saturday, April 22nd, 2006
Anti-virus and anti-spam company Sophos has released its latest spam report 
, which covers the origin and replaying of spam for the first quarter of 2006.
According to the report, the USA accounted for over half of all spam sent to the world two years ago, but now it sends less than a quarter. The improvement is attributed to the CAN-SPAM Act and to successful US prosecutions of spammers.
Increasing amounts of spam sent from other parts of the world also help the USA’s percentage of the total to fall. Europe in particular has seen substantial increases.
Asia remains the king of spam-relaying.
You can read a summary of the report with graphs on the Sophos web site.
