As the medals are awarded in Beijing it looks like China are dominating all before them with a massive medal haul beating the USA into first place, with the UK doing astonishingly well this year.
However when it comes to the real competition - The Malware Olympics - it seems that the USA are beating allcomers with a massive amount of PC’s infected compared to the number two in Japan. It looks quite bad for the UK, who only get to a lowly ninth in the table.
Here’s the medal table courtesy of Trend Micro.
PC’s infected
1 USA 66,756,766
2 Japan 10,654,594
3 Taiwan 6,734,286
4 China 3,711,602
5 Australia 1,856,557
6 Spain 1,548,261
7 France 1,434,987
8 Netherlands 466,071
9 United Kingdom 451,652
10 Turkey 437, 849
I am sure you’ll join me in a massive cheer for all the participants and it is sure to say that this a proud moment and great source for national pride.
