Symantec Says: USA is the Malwariest!

Dave G. | March 20th, 2007 | Filed Under: Slashdot Rounddown

Overcoming stereotypes of American laziness, Symantec’s research has shown that our malware authors are more productive than any other country! From Preston Gralla @ ComputerWorld:

The latest Internet Security Threat Report released by Symantec says that the highest percentage of malware originates in the U.S., with some 31% coming from U.S. networks. China is a distant second, with 10%, and Germany was third with 7%.

I am really interested in seeing how these stats will change over time

  • Will we see other countries grow?
  • Will we see Malware Outsourcing?
  • What does this really say about America?

Finally, have they collected these stats before? Anything we can compare against?
