Symantec: Religious Sites "Riskier Than Porn For Viruses"

Posted by samzenpus on from the surfing-dirty dept.

First time accepted submitter kongshem writes "According to Symantec's annual Internet Security Threat Report, religious and ideological websites have far more security threats per infected site than adult/pornographic sites. Why is that? Symantec's theory: 'We hypothesize that this is because pornographic Web site owners already make money from the Internet and, as a result, have a vested interested in keeping their sites malware-free — it's not good for repeat business,'"

      Our designer, who art in Portland,
      Hallowed be thy kernel
      Thy system build,
      Thy will be built,
      On ours, as it is on yours,
      Give us this day our daily patch,
      And forgive us our errors,
      As we forgive them that introduce theirs,
      And lead us not into closed software,
      But deliver us from non-freedom,
      For thine is the kernel, the sources, the glory,
      For ever and ever,
      Amen.

      "research is directly credited with lowering (again, just one example of many) the survival rates of certain types of leukemia"

      Well that doesn't sound very nice. Not sure I'd want to see survival rates LOWERED...

      I used to troll them, years back. Then they decided, entirely seriously, the Hitler and most of the Nazi party were gay, and that the holocaust was secretly a homosexual conspiracy to exterminate the jews for their belief in Leviticus. At that point I realised that nothing I could write could be half as crazy as what the legitimate users believe.

    Children are sexually transmitted so there's a flaw in your logic there.
