Sophos: US is the number one malware host in 2008

In what may be a surprise to many in the U.S., Sophos reported that the U.S. is the number one malware host in 2008. I've linked an article on this report above, but the short details are that 37% of malware was hosted on sites in the U.S. this last year. It's not some third world country as we've come to expect in recent years.

As expected Sophos predicts cybercrime to increase in 2009, so make sure adding security to your network is on your list of new years resolutions!
