2013: “Dirty Dozen” SPAMPIONSHIP 

[START Text from SOPHOS] At the end of each calendar quarter, we dig into our spam databases and calculate each country’s scores in a league table we jokingly call the SPAMPIONSHIP.

Unlike conventional sporting events such as the Superbowl, the Six Nations or the Bundesliga, the Spampionship is one title that no team wants to win. [END Text from SOPHOS]

WHAT YOU Should Know About Spam

I will use again the text from SOPHOS, as it explains BEST what SPAM is:

Spam is almost always sent by regular computers – in other words, by desktop or laptop computers at home or at work – rather than by dedicated email servers.

You’re probably familiar with the process by now:

1. Your computer gets infected with a bot, also known as zombie malware.
2. The bot “calls home”, typically using a simple web download, to fetch a spam message and a list of addresses to send it to.
3. The bot sends the message over and over again, using your computer and your internet connection to clock up the mail deliveries.
4. GOTO 2.
