Pakistan has been included in the list of top dozen countries with highest number of SPAM in the world.
Sophos, an IT security and data protection company, revealed this in it’s latest research the top 12 countries responsible for spreading SPAM messages, especially through emails.
Before we go into details, here’s the ranking with their share of SPAM in the world:
- United States 11.3%
- S Korea 9.6%
- India 8.8%
- Russia 7.9%
- Brazil 5.7%
- Taiwan 3.8%
- Vietnam 3.5%
- Indonesia 3.3%
- Ukraine 3.1%
- Romania 2.8%
- Pakistan 2.0%
- Italy 1.9%
- Others 36%
So clearly United States leads the chart with worst offender, but Pakistan has been creeping up the wall by originating 2 percent share of World’s total SPAM.
This share of SPAM from Pakistan is considered alarming high, given the size of internet users in the country is way low than those in other regions.
For time being this SPAM in Pakistan is largely in form of annoying adverts, mostly done through mass emailing system of Google Groups, but experts anticipate that fraudulent activities, such as phishing, Trojans, identity theft etc., may go on the rise in coming years.
We, here at ProPakistani, were able to identify those SPAM marketing emails even from big brand names, let alone those SMEs who carry these kind of activities fearlessly.
It merits mentioning here that analysts estimates 94 percent of SPAM emails coming through those specialized Google Groups which were specifically made for marketing SPAM emails. However, lately, Google has restricted Pakistani Groups from adding any user in Google Groups. Earlier, any group could add up to 100 individuals per day into their group to send them marketing emails.
If not legislated by Government of Pakistan, this number of SPAM can grow large in coming years.
For me its not 12th position.. Its only 2.0%.
Be positive:)
Main reason for this is internet marketing ,many ppl like me do spam for marketing .
many pakistani are nowadays doing SpamMing and it is going to be the daily routine for them .so it is not a shock for me !!
We will beat them all one day :P
Part of the reason for spam is spamware installed on unsuspecting users systems. It is not common in the West to have your computer on 24×7 (in many places you don’t even need a UPS). Also, they have higher bandwidth than most users.
Also vulnerable are systems with pirated copies of Windows, which do not have security updates. That explains spam from Korea, India, etc. Probably some of Pakistan too. Also in Korea they have really high bandwidth. It is very common to find RESIDENTIAL networks with 100mbit/s links in large cities there. More bandwidth = more spam sent.
Come on pakis. Top every chart. Haha
So why there is no MAss adsense banning in U.s ?
There is no link between spamming and adsense.
