Why can't the “great Chinese firewall” stop outgoing spam?
Everyone knows about the "great Chinese firewall" - a filtering system of objectionable foreign websites that are not available for viewing from the territory of China. At the same time, few people know that the same system is also used to block certain Chinese websites from access from outside, that is, from abroad. These propaganda resources are exclusively for domestic consumption.
In connection with this , a completely natural question arises : why are so many malicious servers from which malware and spam sent around the world physically located in China ? Analysis shows that China ranks first in the world in the generation of malicious traffic.
The effectiveness of the Chinese firewall raises some doubts and is the subject of ongoing discussion. Distribution of gigabytes of spam and viruses from the territory of China is another argument in favor of those who speak about the inefficiency of the firewall. Otherwise, it remains to assume that the “holes” in the firewall are left with the knowledge of the Chinese authorities. If you recall the recent news that almost the state hacker brigades began to form in China to conduct an information war, then the version of the deliberately "leaky" firewall can be trusted.
