pursuant to researched done by an non - e investigation company sophos , the united states is the point of origin of over 42 % of all spammers . trails are the america with 13 % and china with 8 % of the u ' s spam . the security firm performed an audit of its honeypots to get up with the figures ― a honeypot is a special system set up to discourage spam or spammers in how to gauge spammer activity . such activity is not largely unexpected . the united us accounts for slightly over 25 % of all online usage , whereas both holland and china have about 4 % and 11 % of the asia ' s internet traffic , respectively . so these percentages still point to the w . s . as being a disproportionate cause for spam .
The United States produces spam.
