Security firm Sophos has released its latest top 12 list of the worst countries for relaying spam, placing the UK at ninth.
The US came top in Sophos' 'dirty dozen', relaying over 13 per cent of all spam and accounting for "hundreds of millions of junk messages every day". India came second at just over seven per cent, followed by Brazil at just under six per cent.
Most surprising is China. Usually blamed for many of the world's internet problems, it did not make the top 12 list, coming in at 15th with under two per cent of all spam.
The UK is at joint ninth with Russia and Italy, and follows South Korea in fourth place, Vietnam in fifth place and Germany in sixth place.
