David Emm, a member of the Global Research and Analysis Team at Kaspersky Lab, provides insight into the geographic spread of digital pollution: "It is interesting to note that specific geographic regions specialise in different forms of malware. For example, Russia is a hotbed of botnet activity, whilst many of the banking Trojans originate from Latin America. Meanwhile, China specialises in gaming malware."
