Nine out of every 10 emails sent in the first quarter of 2008 were spam.

Security experts Sophos uncovered 23,300 spam related web pages a day in the first three months of the year, or the equivalent of one every three seconds.

These pages are built using top trends-keywords-searches as example: “Miley Cyrus naked pictures”, “txn”, “Jennifer Hawkins”, Viagra, etc.

Between January and March, Australia ranked 34th in its contribution to the world’s spam.

US computers topped the list with 15.4 per cent of the world’s spam and China was no. 2 on the list with 7.4 per cent.
