According to Kaspersky Lab’s spam report for May 2010, the USA maintained its positions as the prime distributor of spam, despite a decrease of 2.4% compared to March’s figure: the quantity of spam originating from this country increased by 8.5%, having returned to its usual level of 20.7%. Second and third places respectively went to India with 7.5% and Russia with 5.4%.
May saw major shifts involving China (3.6%) and Brazil (3.7%) – these countries have started to slowly win back their positions. They are not in the Top 5 yet, but could be soon. The 4th and the 5th places in the Top 5 are occupied by Vietnam and the Republic of Korea with 4.8% and 4.1% respectively. Noticeable changes happened to spam flows coming from Germany and Italy, they dropped out of the Top 10 having distributed 2% less spam each compared with the previous month. Interestingly, there is a “newcomer” in May’s Top 20 – Argentina distributed 2.1% of the total volume of spam.
