Yes, but the third tab on your link clearly shows that 1 through 9 of
the 10 worst (spamhaus definition) spammers (not spam origins) are non
U.S. culprits -- Russian, Ukraine, Hong Kong, Russian, Australia,
Russian, Russian, India, Ukraine and USA.

There is USA right at the top head and shoulders above the rest.

The way I look at it is this:

 1) It takes a lot of talent/energy even to cause harm

 2) Spammers may use cheap tools written by others but they are a
powerful cartel very similar to the underworld. It requires great
coordination, planning and heavy resources to write/use the
sophisticated tools used by them

I would not imagine a nation like Nigeria coming up with tools like
this. ;)
