Irish firms sending spam

According to research carried out by The Email Laundry, Irish firms are dealing with an influx of spam from their own country. 5.69% of unwanted mail is coming from within our own borders. Although this figure may not seem large it places us as the third worst offender with China at 5.96% and the United States at 13.58%. Considering 95% of email trying to get to our Irish customers in March was spam, Ireland is sending a lot of spam.

The vast majority of this unwanted mail seems to have it's origins in virally infected computers. As broadband penetration increases many home computers unknowingly become part of a “botnet” sending out a stream of spam.

The top seven offending countries were

1 United States 13.58%
2 China 5.96%
3 Ireland 5.69%
4 Korea 5.62%
5 Russia 5.45%
6 U.K. 4.11%
7 Turkey 3.67%
