In 2007 Sophos made public its monthly top of global Link Spam Statistics from April to June 2007 which finds out that China and the USA are the utmost lawbreakers when it comes to countries sending unsolicited e-mail. It is easy to understand that the inspection hasn’t been done just to blame the US for spam circulation, European countries in sum have higher percentage of spam than the US do. When corresponded to 2006, this quarter noticed a worldwide 9 percent increase of junk e-mail. South Korea came in third place on the roll having 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.

Paul Ducklin, the head of high technology at Sophos Asia Pacific, comments on the widespread rise of unsolicited e-mail: “In a matter of seconds we can find compromised systems distribute spam on a dozen different subjects from stock scams to diet drugs.”. The junk e-mail business doesn’t require a lot of funds to start it, so illicit unsolicited e-mail companies may be set up almost everywhere and it’s been taking place hourly. Not only in the states with great amount of people and good level of computer systems development like Africa. Protectwebform carried out its own survey in the realm of junk e-mail. Those results differs from Sopho’s survey, but they are very necessary to notice. Over several months they analyzed junk e-mail messages, which were entered in e-mail boxes, specially provided by their company. In a result of examination of these unsolicited e-mail messages and sender IP-addresses they determined the leaders of e-mail spam topics and Countries-spam-distributors. Regarding states-spam-providers, the leading position is held by USA, having 38 percent of general quantity of unsolicited e-mail messages.
