Unfortunately – spam is part of most of our daily lives, so much so that we have laws and regulations surrounding how spam can actually be used. A new study from Comodo Threat Research Labs took a look at all of the email that Comodo has filtered throughout the second half of 2015, and put together the following map showcasing the spam levels within the United States.
And hey – look at that! New York is finally winning in something tech related. Well – not really winning. California holds the number one spot with 24.37% spam, while New York comes in second with 22.36%. Take a look at the Top 10 list below:
