India unsurps US as world’s top source of spam

Security firm Sophos has published a report stating that in Q1 of 2012, India overtook the US the world’s number one source of spam. While the report noted the overall amount of spam had decreased globally due to better control from ISPs, India’s rise was highlighted because of the growing Internet using population.

1. India-9.3 percent
2. USA – 8.3 percent
3. South Korea – 5.7 percent
4. Indonesia- 5.0 percent
5. Russia- 5.0 percent
6. Italy- 4.9 percent
7. Brazil-4.3 percent
8. Poland-3.9 percent
9. Pakistan-3.3 percent
10. Vietnam-3.2 percent
11. Taiwan-2.9 percent
12. Peru-2.5 percent
13. Others-41.7 percent

Additionally, the report noted that 46.7 percent of the world spam came from Asia, 26.9 percent of the spam came from Europe and 11.9 percent of the spam came from South America. North America contributed 10.9 percent to the global kitty of spam and Africa contributed only 3 percent.

Hitler's Bunker

On Monday, April 30, on the anniversary of the day in 1945 when Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun committed suicide in a bunker beneath Berlin, LIFE.com presents a gallery of photos (many of which were not published in LIFE) from the bunker itself and from the ruined city beyond its walls, taken by LIFE's William Vandivert — the first Western photographer to descend into the bunker.

 

Russian Soldiers and a civilian struggle to move a large bronze Nazi Party eagle which once loomed over a doorway of the Reich Chancellary in Berlin,1945.

 

This is a new view of a photograph that appeared, heavily cropped, in LIFE, picturing Hitler's command center in the Berlin bunker, partially burned by retreating German troops and stripped of valuables by invading Russians.

 

 

With only candles to light their way, war correspondents examine a couch stained with blood (see dark patch on the arm of the sofa) located inside Hitler's bunker, 1945.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

An SS officer's cap, with the infamous "death's head" skull emblem barely visible. Of this image, Vandivert's notes state simply: "moldy SS cap lying in water on floor of sitting room."

TCS becomes country's second most valued company

Mumbai: For the second time within a week, Tata Group software services company TCS Monday became the country's second most-valued firm with a market capitalisation of Rs 2.43 lakh crore, surpassing oil and gas major ONGC.

At the end of today's trade, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) commanded a market value of Rs 2.43 lakh crore -- the second highest for any listed company in India. This is nearly Rs 13,000 crore more than state-run ONGC's market value of around Rs 2.30 lakh crore.

A sharp gain of 3.49 percent in TCS' share prices Monday pushed the company to the second position. In comparison, ONGC shares posted a gain of 2.22 percent.

On April 24, TCS had dethroned ONGC from the slot after the IT company's shares jumped 13 percent jump in a single session with investors cheering robust 2011-12 earnings and an upbeat FY13 outlook.

The market capitalisation of a listed company corresponds to the cumulative market price of all its shares. This figure changes daily with the change in the stock price.

Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) remains the most valued company with a market capitalisation of Rs 2.44 lakh crore.

On January 5, TCS had toppled RIL as the country's most-valued firm as shares of the billionaire Mukesh Ambani-led corporate giant plunged sharply. Besides, TCS had replaced RIL from the top position for the first time on December 30, 2011 -- the last trading session of that year.
