Percentage of junk e-mails from Taiwan falls to ten
The percentage of junk e-mails originating from Taiwan fell to 10 percent of the global total in 2008, while China remained the Asia-Pacific region's biggest proliferator, Internet security company Symantec Corp. said yesterday.
Junk e-mails from Taiwan constituted 19 percent of global spam in 2007, but fell to 10 percent of the 119.6 billion junk e-mails sent in 2008, according to the Cupertino, California-based company.
The declining number sent Taiwan's ranking in the Asia-Pacific region as a proliferator of spam tumbling to fifth from second in 2007. China remained the No. 1 source of Internet mayhem in 2008 in the area, Symantec said.
