Wonder where most of your spam is coming from? Asia. According to Semantec, a well-known anti-virus company, 69% of all emails originating from Asia are spam. And China leads the way, generating the most spam in the world by volume.
I don't know if this is accurate, but I do know that almost all of the spam "comments" received on this blog are from IP addresses in China. It seems China is emitting spam at a rate that rivals its CO2 emissions.

A newly bank account fraud in Denmark with letters to naive netbank customers succeeded luring 220 passwords or so from approx. the thousands of recipients; it was said that it came from Hong Kong but I guess it might originate from persons knowing a lot about Scandinavia and just using a site in Hong Kong for the actual sending.
Do not blame the poor Hong Kong'ers:-)
The Danish bank in question had a spokesman say that it was not that bad, and they considered their quick response to the fraud successful and satisfactory. I think she even said that it was not as expensive as could be feared.
Don,
You are right that it can be difficult to know the source of online activity. I do know that the IP addresses of all the spam hitting my blog said China. I would guess that at least some of it did actually come from China.
