Email viruses hitting Australians harder: report

The number of email viruses targeting Australians is on the rise, with Australia last month experiencing the biggest growth in attacks of any country.

One in 84.1 emails or 1.2 per cent of email traffic contains a virus, up from 0.4 per cent of email traffic the month before, MessageLabs' Intelligence Report for October 2006 said. The global ratio was 1 per cent of email traffic.

India remains the hardest hit country, with one in 16 emails containing a virus. It was followed by Ireland, Germany, Singapore and Spain.
