Global anti-spam powerhouse Spamhaus ranks China second, after the United States, in the number of current known email spam security issues, as of statistics posted February 1, 2009. And on Spamhaus' list of the top ten worst Internet Service Providers around the world, Greater China is home to both the 3rd worst offender on the Cnuninet.com network and the 10th worst offender on the Edu.tw network. Because security exploits and phishing attacks can immediately spread across borders, the need for updated technology security news from China has increased in recent years and TechSecurityChina.com is focused on delivering that information to readers around the world.
According to the latest website monitoring information from the Chinese anti-virus software provider Rising, the number of websites plagued by viruses and phishers recently shows a growth trend and the company's Cloud Security system blocked 6.83 million visits to websites with viruses on January 20, 2009, alone. Security experts from Rising say that at present, e-commerce ticket websites and film download websites are the hardest-hit areas by viruses in China, accounting for 80% of the total websites with viruses and embedded malware. Cross-border e-commerce exploits have grown in recent years, so keeping the global community of I.T. professionals updated on machinations in China via TechSecurityChina.com is a good way to help companies around the world save time and money in preparing for security attacks.
Foreign companies too have been taking security seriously in recent months in China, as Microsoft MSN recently reached a strategic cooperative instant messaging agreement with China-based Kingsoft Duba to jointly provide free security products to the users of Windows Live Messenger. According to China Internet Network Information Center's statistics, there are now about 200 million instant messaging service users in China. In recent years, Microsoft MSN has been affected by trojan viruses and spam advertisement links, making MSN a tool for the spreading of viruses and malware around Asia. Other companies are learning from Microsoft that often global software needs local solutions when working within China's Internet world. TechSecurityChina.com is the key resource for companies to understand these requirements.
