Spam map shows where the junk mail comes from

By Martin English | September 21, 2005

Mailinator is a service that gives you free, disposable email anytime, anywhere. Mailboxes are created when email arrives for them (see their FAQ for more information).

The system receives around a million junk mail messages a day. By using hostip.info to resolve the geographical location of IP addresses used to distribute this junk mail, then plugging this data into Google maps, the people behind the service have created a map to show where the spam they receive is coming from.
