DESCRIPTION:The compromised systems that push malware (and its products su
 ch as spam) are widespread on the Internet today. Many researchers and exp
 erts have claimed\nthat certain countries seem to "specialize" in particul
 ar sorts of malware without attempting to note whether there is any correl
 ation between the\ndifferent sorts. Thanks to a database that contains up 
 to four years' worth of data the speaker believes he can draw some conclus
 ions about where different\nsorts of malware originate and how compromised
  computers (and hence) IP addresses change what malware they deliver.\n\nS
 peaker bio\n\nFrancis Turner is VP Product Management for ThreatSTOP Inc.\
 , a leader in the IP reputation space. He has worked for over 20 years in 
 the IT and data\ncommunication industries\, starting with a stint at IBM i
 n the mid 1980s before reading Computer Science at Magdalene College\, Cam
 bridge. Subsequently he\nworked for Madge Networks and Bay Networks. After
  the latter merged with Nortel\, he became the European Product Manager fo
 r their enterprise switching\ndivision. In 2001 he left Nortel Networks to
  be CIO at a small biotech company that was seminal in the use of computat
 ion in the analysis and creation of new\nenzymatic processes. Most recentl
 y he worked at a consultancy firm assisting ICT companies with their multi
 national product marketing and business development.
