McAfee Picks the Most Dangerous TLDs
CWRUisTakingMyMoney writes "Companies that assign addresses for Web sites appear to be cutting corners on security more when they assign names in certain domains than in others, according to a report to be released Wednesday by antivirus software vendor McAfee Inc. McAfee found the most dangerous domains to navigate to are .hk, .cn, and .info. Of all .hk sites McAfee tested, it flagged 19.2 percent as dangerous or potentially dangerous to visitors; it flagged 11.8 percent of .cn sites and 11.7 percent of .info sites that way. A little more than 5 percent of the sites under the .com domain — the world's most popular — were identified as dangerous."
Who marked the parent troll? It's true that "Microsoft" and "Windows" are never mentioned in the article and that this is what makes those other sites "dangerous".
Anyone mentioning IE, Windows and the shame of passing off McAffee's press release as news has been modded troll. The people doing this would rather shove goatse in your face. Look at it:
All of these posts had valid and interesting points and a lot of mod points were used to bury it all. Wake up moderators! Do the trolls really have that much over this place?
