Saudi Arabia now ranks 17th in the world for countries from which spam attacks are launched and accounts for 2% of the world's spam.
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is playing host to two computer worms that are spreading infections, launching massive spam attacks and disabling security software.
Symantec's 16th Internet Security Threat Report shows that the worms, Sality.AE and Mabezat.B, have spread in Saudi Arabia at a faster rate than any other country in Europe, Middle East and Africa.

Muhammed Bin Laden did infrastructure. Salem Bin Laden did communications and infrastructure. Now, they need another Bin Laden type to stand up and take charge of computer related lapses.
