A few statistics about SPAM in 2010

The most interesting ones grouped in a tidy little list:

• 90% of spam is in English. A year ago it was 96%, so spam is getting more “international.”
• 88% of all spam is sent from botnets (networks of compromised PCs). The first three of them (Rustock, Cutwail, Maazben) group more than 2.5 million PC.
• 91% of spam contains some form of link.
• 2/3 of of all spam is related to pharmaceutical products.
