Anti Spam

In 2007 Sophos made public its monthly roll of worldwide Link Spam Statistics from April to June 2007 that reveals China and the USA as the top lawbreakers when it comes to countries sending junk e-mail. It is easy to see that the survey hasn’t been done only to censure the US for junk e-mail circulation, European countries in total have higher percentage of spam than the US do. The worldwide junk e-mail is stably going up and in relation to 2006 it has gone up by 9 percent. The leaders of unsolicited e-mail roll excepting USA and China are: South Korea with 6.5 percent unsolicited e-mail, 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 India with 2.5 percent.

The top-ranked expert of Sophos declares that people don’t use computers properly distributing spam. But the easiest way go through it is using CAPTCHA test and Anti Spam procedures which can determine spam. She announced that the facility of any solitary country is not enough to subdue unsolicited e-mail because it is a worldwide problem. Paul Ducking gave his view on rise the quantity of unsolicited e-mail distributors: “Spam messages include many themes from offering various services to promoting many kinds of produces.”. He said that illegally using of computer systems expands and may be put into practice from almost any location worldwide, even Africa, where computer systems are not as well spread as in USA, can be used as a base of spam. Protectwebform produced its own research in the field of unsolicited e-mail. Those findings differs from Sopho’s analysis, but they are very necessary to know. The spam analysis was realized by the next method: a huge amount of tentative e-mail boxes were done and then they examined quantity and origins of entered unsolicited e-mail massages. In a result of research of these e-mail spam messages and sender IP-addresses they found the leaders of unsolicited e-mail themes and spam distributors. Regarding countries-spam e-mail-providers, the leading position is held by USA, with 38 percent of general quantity of unsolicited e-mail messages. Next, having a great lag, there is China with 5.3 percent, Ukraine with 4.7 percent and Russia with 3.8 percent. The European countries are: only Spain – 3.2 percent, Germany - 2.8 percent and Italy – 1.7 percent got into the catalogue. Unsolicited e-mail-messages distribution into topics was implemented in the following way. They classified unsolicited e-mail-phrases, distributing them between directories, and then they grouped derived section names, thus determining most often found topics.

The first place is occupied by “Drug and Medications” subject with 24.7 percent, the second - by “Finance” with 16.6 percent. Other popular topics are “Phones & Ringtones” – 6.8 percent, “Porn” – 5.6 percent and “Gambling” – 4.2 percent.
