| Riskiest Domain Types : A report by McAfee -
12-01-2007
A global survey of the riskiest places to surf online found Russian and Romanian sites among the top-level domains most commonly hosting malicious downloads, browser exploits, and scams. The complete survey of 250+ domain types was carried out by McAfee. It found that .info is the riskiest generic domain, with 7.5 per cent of its sites rated as risky followed by .com, with a 5.5 per cent population of dodgy sites. Some web activities, like registering at a site or downloading a file, are significantly more risky when done at certain domains. For example, giving an email address to a random .info domain results in a 73.2 per cent chance of receiving spam, McAfee reports.
