The World's Worst Spam Producing Countries

Most of the world suffers from the spam problem. However, some countries do little to deter spammers from operating within their borders. These countries become safe havens for the spam operations that plague everyone else, including their own nationals.

Countries with the highest number of spammers operating within their networks are usually those with poor or non-existent spam laws.
