China Home to Most Hacked Computers

A new study confirms what most people have suspected for a long time…China is home to the most hacked computers. Other non-news from the study: Malware is on the rise as is fake anti-virus software and spam is still trending upward in spite of a recent decline in numbers. That was you SYAK update for the day.


In the last three months of 2009, about 1,095,000 computers in China were hacked, and 1,057,000 in the United States – this on top of the 10 million or so machines already infected in each country. An estimated $1 trillion in intellectual property was stolen worldwide in 2008 through hacking, McAfee estimated.
