US Websites Lead World in Malware Hosting

Security firm Sophos has released a report that says US computers host the most malware and forward the most spam in the world. You can thanks the countless clueless people that encourage the phishing and malware industries by clicking on every popup and email link they receive.


"Not only is the U.S. relaying the most spam because too many of its computers have been compromised and are under the control of hackers, but it's also carrying the most malicious Web pages," said Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant for Sophos.
 
AWESOME! we're #1, we're #1, we're #1, LOL, Yet another reason for Korea, The middle east and Russia to hate us.. lets not forget France :D

Ok, on a serious note, its because most US ppl think of the net like a news paper or TV, only those 2 things don't give you VD, and also the average user buy's the pre-man pc with the bundled crap and the budled crap only last 30 days max.. so the subscription expires and then ontop of it, it sucked in the first place so there you go.. I believe that Europe has strict laws on what is bundled.. compared to the US. I could be wrong on that tho.
