Ough, not exactly happy how The Netherlands is doing:

Countries where web resources are seeded with malware

These figures show where sites hosting malicious programs are physically located. The geographic sources of web attacks were determined by comparing the domain name with the actual IP address where a specific domain is located, and determining the location of that IP address (GEOIP).

Just 10 countries worldwide host 86% of the web resources used to spread malware. For the second quarter running this figure has climbed by a single percentage point.

There is a new leader among countries hosting malicious content: Russia (23.2%) has overtaken the USA (20.3%). In the last three months, the proportion of malicious hosts in Russia has dramatically increased (+8.6 percentage points); at the same time, the fall in the US share (-9.7 percentage points) has almost mirrored Russia’s rise. The number of malicious hosts in the Netherlands has also risen (+5.8 percentage points). 60% of all malicious content is located in the top three countries – Russia, the USA and the Netherlands. Without effective action from law enforcement agencies and hosting providers, this situation is likely to continue for several more months.

There were no significant changes among the other countries in the Top 10, apart from the UK’s share falling by 2.6 percentage points.
