They simply use or setup hosting operations in the US.

Google a company called Atrivo and you'll see all sorts of information about this hosting front for the Russians.

I don't know whether it is the report or the writeup, but at least the writeup is misleading. If "the U.S. hosts 37% of the world's malware websites", that does not mean that "37% Of Malware Originates In U.S.".

In fact, a lot of malware is written in and deployed from (originates in) countries which produce a lot of talented and increasingly money-hungry (and unscrupulous) young hackers. The US is falling behind in this regard, with inferior education in general and kids (well, teenage and young-adult males, mostly) more inclined to be youtube potatos than technical experts.

In fact, the US number represents vulnerable hosts - sorta the opposite of computer prowess like malware-writing ability.
