Evil Indian cities
By Sumir Singh

It is a serious academic study based on data collated in late 2010, and it is titled ‘Finding and Analyzing Evil Cities on the Internet’. 

For this research, one week of attack and spam data was analyzed. According to the report, during this period 25474 attacks were logged, from 23814 different IP addresses. Of these attacks, 20174 came from a form of the Conficker worm, a worm that targets the Windows operating system. The next largest numbers of attacks, namely 2052, were attacks trying to take advantage of the vulnerability in certain Windows-versions dubbed MS08-067 by Microsoft.

The report shows how a number of Indian cities made it to the list of the Top 20 spamming cities in the world.
