The independent anti-spam organisation, Spamhaus, has named “Vincent Chan” of yoric.net, based in Hong Kong, as number seven on their latest list of the ten worst spammers. According to Spamhaus, Vincent Chan is working together with Lap Chung Chan and a small group of Chinese spammers. They are heavily into pharmacy, but have also spammed for watches and some mailshots for OEM warez, toner and ink cartridges, and mortgages. Spamhaus claims that these people have been at it for years, are experienced and put out massive volumes.
The top ten spammer list also contains spammers from Eastern Europe and North America.
In the Spamhaus “10 Worst Spam Origin Countries” list, China came second (with 312 current known spam issues), behind the USA (with 1997).
