In 2010, spam is increasing at an alarming 30% compared to 2009. They constitute a continuing threat to the security of its network and business information, and through years of Cisco Security Report, 2010. The report also emphasizes that between November (2009) and June (2010), the United States was once the top spam-producing country in the world, with the creation of Brazil in third place (maintaining the highest position a few months). Overall, the decreased level of spam in both countries. However, overall participation in world spam Brazil (-4. 3%) significantly lower compared with the United States (-0. 56%). According to Cisco’s security researchers, reduction of spam Brazil can be attributed to increased Brazilian ISP limit to port 25, an important method of blocking spam. The second site is occupied by India, while Russia and South Korea are among the top five. Other countries in the top ten list (in addition to the above countries) in Vietnam, 3. 74%, Ukraine (3rd 60%), Germany (3rd 34%), China (3rd 22%) and Italy (second 80%).
