China Is Tops in Targeted Malware
Symantec's MessageLabs Intelligence Report discovered that while most unsolicited and malware-tainted e-mail is delivered through e-mail servers based in the U.S., the largest percentage of these missives are actually sent from hackers based in China.

This report comes on the heels of several high-profile cyber attacks perpetrated against American tech giants such as Google and Intel as well as government agencies responsible for providing national security and protecting sensitive personal information.
