Botnet Statistics [2010-01-29]

India took the number one spot yesterday, as their number of bots climbed to 900+. This is very rare for India. Another point worth mentioning is that the total number of bots detected is in the decline. I hope that is because my detection strategy is so effective, that spammers are forced to change their ways of sending mail. Just kidding:).
