Cameroon the New Hotbed of Malware

Posted by samzenpus on from the none-more-infected dept.

garg0yle writes "According to McAfee, more than a third of Cameroon domains (TLD of .cm) are infested with viruses or other not-so-fun party treats. Given that it's very easy to mis-type .com as .cm, this puts the computers of a lot of fat-fingered typists in peril. Second place on the most-infested domains list goes to China (.cn), while Hong Kong (last year's 'winner') is now comfortably middle-of-the-pack."

    And while we're at it, how about a link to the actual report? (warning: PDF)

    Do people really still fear PDFs? I can't believe Acrobat Reader is still so utterly utterly broken out of the box when every single other PDF reader will open a PDF more or less instantaneously.
