Russia ranks in third place on the list of countries distributing spam, behind the United States and India, a recent report from the Kaspersky Lab found. Up to 80 percent of spam targeted at Internet users in North America and Europe is generated by a group of around 100 professional spam gangs, a statement from The Spamhaus Project, an international NGO tracking the Internet's spam operations, said. A recent survey conducted by this NGO found that seven out of the ten most active spammers in the world are based in former Soviet countries: three in Russia, three in Ukraine and one in Estonia.
