The Spam Map

Courtesey of Memepool...

There's a .JPG available online that shows you where the bulk of your spam comes from.

It's quite interesting. Highlights include showing the North Korea is apparently as responsible for spam as South Korea, Calgary is the biggest Canadian source, and China looks to be personally responsible for a ridiculous percentage of spam as well. Iran even has a major spam hub along the southern coast of the Caspian Sea, it would seem.

To be perfectly honest, the entire postini.com site is pretty neat, with realtime graphs and maps on non-spam email threats and more. I'd highly recommend checking the entire site out.

Discuss!!

I know this image probably isn't exactly to scale, but note the giant red dot centered on Jackson County and the surrounding areas.

Somebody oughta get the anti-spam groups together with Captain Jackson and put a stop to all of this...

That's actually Detroit I think. :-p Possibly Ann Arbor (and those evil, evil Wolverines!!).

Isn't it sad that Captain Jackson is the most-interesting thing about Jackson though? Well, once you get past all the interminable road construction anyways...

Well, we'll never know now... Postini apparently updates the image every 24 hours to reflect IP activity. So whatever happened in the Jackson-Ann Arbor-Detroit spam triangle yesterday is over with for now. Maybe one of those road crews accidentally cut a pipeline and knocked out service or something...

As an Edmontonian, the knowledge that Calgary generates more Canadian spam than any other city fails to surprise.

Edmonton would too if they'd only discovered electricity yet, Pomm. ;-)
