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.

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