In 2007 Sophos made public its quarterly list of global Link Spam Statistics from April to June 2007 which finds out that China and the USA are the top wrongdoers when it comes to commonwealths sending unsolicited e-mail. Six of the head entries are from European states that comprise a combined higher percentage of junk e-mail than the US which at present counts for 19.6 percent of spam worldwide. When corresponded to 2006, the second quarter saw a worldwide 9 percent increment of spam. South Korea came in third place on the roll with 6.5 percent unsolicited e-mail, then Poland with 4.8 percent, Germany with 4.2 percent, Brazil 4.1 percent, France 3.3 percent, Russia 3.1 percent, Turkey 2.9 percent, UK with 2.8 percent, Italy with 2.8 percent and finally India with 2.5 percent.

The top-ranked expert of Sophos states that people don't make the most efficient use of computers circulating spam. But the easiest way to overcome it is using CAPTCHA system and Anti Spam filters that can determine unsolicited e-mail. She also that that to strive against the spam countries have to be coherent. “This is no suddunness in fact that compromised systems can send out junk e-mail worldwide” noticed the head of technology at Sophos Asia Pacific, Paul Ducklin. He warns that spammers are prepared to use technologies illegally from all over the world in order to send spam.
