USA is top?

by Anonymous (not verified)

Hi there,

Just reading your posts and comparing to the stats over at honey pot and also my own server records. I'm surprised! USA comes up top for all kinds of spam activity but (and i think im not the only one here) my own server records show that the top culprit is Russia. This could be misleading counter intelligence on the part of the Americans - my guess is the American spammers bluff as Russians to avoid detection and blame - maybe by using .ru addresses etc - however they cant fool the stats at honey pot? Maybe honeypot has been hacked by the Russians to show the USA as the number 1 culprit.

OMG I think I just discovered the cold war is still going on in cyberspace!
