Spammers – U.S. is King, India the Queen

Our two favorite countries, U.S. and India, are the top spammers in the world, according to a new report from computer security services provider Sophos.

U.S. is the leader of the spammers, accounting for 18.6% of spam in the July-September 2010 quarter, up from 15.2% in the previous quarter.

India’s share of spam was 7.6% in the third quarter.
