I've been wondering about the veritable flood of Russian language spam; I guess this explains the volume:

Russia now occupies number one spot on this ranking with 27.4 percent of malware, slightly ahead of China on 27 percent. Both leave the U.S. trailing in third with 10.1 percent, Brazil on 6.6 percent, and the U.K. with 5.32 percent.

Of course, I have to wonder about the intelligence behind this. Sure, there are lots and lots of Chinese speakers around, both inside China and out. But Russian? Just how effective do they think that is?
