India has emerged as the world's top source of junk mail as spammers make use of lax laws and absent enforcement to turn the country into a centre of unsolicited email. Kaspersky Lab, a Moscow-based global Internet security firm, says in a recent report that more spam was sent from the south Asian giant than anywhere else in the world in the third quarter of the year.
