Even if you&#8217;re the most law-abiding citizen of the most law-abiding country in the world, you might be helping to project your own country into the Dirty Dozen if you don&#8217;t take security seriously on your own computer. It may sound corny, but security really does begin at home.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p>There are a few simple precautions can help enormously, according to Ducklin. These include &#8220;timely security patching, an up-to-date anti-virus and a healthy skepticism about unwanted attachments and &#8216;too good to be true&#8217; offers. By taking these steps, you&#8217;ll not only protect yourself, but also help to protect everyone else at the same time.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p>Additional information about the latest dirty dozen report can be found on Sophos&#8217; Naked Security site at: <a href=\"http:\/\/nakedsecurity.sophos.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/nakedsecurity.sophos.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":15325,"template":"","news_categories":[147],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Gli Stati Uniti detengono il record dello spam, la Bielorussia conquista i primi posti della classifica e tre nuovi paesi entrano nella &quot;Sporca Dozzina dello Spam&quot;US Retains Spamming Crown, Belarus Inches toward the Top spot, and three new Countries enter into the \u201cSpam Relaying\u201d Dirty Dozen - soundPR<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.soundpr.it\/news\/gli-stati-uniti-detengono-il-record-dello-spam-la-bielorussia-conquista-i-primi-posti-della-classifica-e-tre-nuovi-paesi-entrano-nella-sporca-dozzina-dello-spam\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Gli Stati Uniti detengono il record dello spam, la Bielorussia conquista i primi posti della classifica e tre nuovi paesi entrano nella &quot;Sporca Dozzina dello Spam&quot;US Retains Spamming Crown, Belarus Inches toward the Top spot, and three new Countries enter into the \u201cSpam Relaying\u201d Dirty Dozen - soundPR\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Sophos\u00a0has published the latest &#8216;Dirty Dozen&#8217; of spam relaying countries, covering the second quarter of 2013.
