San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) October 21, 2009 - The volume
of email spam sent from Korea jumped nearly 39 percent
last week over the previous week, according to worldwide
spam patterns tracked by SpamIQ, the global spam reporting
system from Mailshell, the leading provider of traffic
reputation, anti-spam and anti-phishing engines for
OEMs. Vietnam showed nearly a 30 percent increase last
week as well, making it the second largest increase
worldwide from any country that accounted for at least
five percent of global spam. The majority of the spam
messages, both from Korea and Vietnam, were in English.
Mailshell's OEM partners use SpamIQ reports
to quantify the detection rates of their products, to
create profiles of spam received by their end users
and to identify new attack vectors. The company's software
engines help its OEM partners, including McAfee, CA,
Check Point, NETGEAR, Webroot, AVG, Eset and others,
immediately generate new revenue, up-sell existing products
to new customers and minimize related engineering and
support costs. For more information: http://www.mailshell.com.
