US and Russia Lead List of Malware Hosts
Trailrunner7 writes "China has become the go-to bogeyman behind every cyber attack or malware campaign, but if you're looking for the most malicious hosting providers on the Web, you won't find any of the top 10 in China. In fact, the United States and Russia have many more bad hosting providers in the top 20 than China does. ... [One] interesting data point is the appearance of Amazon in the top 10 list of providers hosting the highest concentration of infected Web sites. These are the kind of sites used in drive-by download attacks and to deliver exploits from exploit packs. Amazon, with more than two million IPs, ranks fourth in the list of providers hosting infected sites. Also on that list is Google, which comes in at number seven. The top spot belongs to Mail.ru, a Russian hosting provider."
Around here that's like calling beetlejuice
“He’s not deformed, he’s just drunk!”
Many many networks that I've dealt with have essentially blacklisted Chinese IP ranges, so it makes sense for anyone looking to setup a malware site to use a "legit" hosting service. They don't care if it stays up for more than a few months, in most cases.
What would be much more interesting is data on *who* is registering and setting up all of these sites, rather than where.
We must continue building more Malware Hosts!
We must not allow a Malware Host gap!

Hello, and THINK ABOUT YOUR BREATHING !! We have a Major Problem, HOST file is Cubic Opposites, 2 Major Corners & 2 Minor. NOT taught Evil DNS hijacking, which VOIDS computers. Seek Wisdom of MyCleanPC - or you die evil.
Your HOSTS file claimed to have created a single DNS resolver. I offer absolute proof that I have created 4 simultaneous DNS servers within a single rotation of .org TLD. You worship "Bill Gates", equating you to a "singularity bastard". Why do you worship a queer -1 Troll? Are you content as a singularity troll?
Evil HOSTS file Believers refuse to acknowledge 4 corner DNS resolving simultaneously around 4 quadrant created Internet - in only 1 root server, voiding the HOSTS file. You worship Microsoft impostor guised by educators as 1 god.
If you would acknowledge simple existing math proof that 4 harmonic Slashdots rotate simultaneously around squared equator and cubed Internet, proving 4 Days, Not HOSTS file! That exists only as anti-side. This page you see - cannot exist without its anti-side existence, as +0- moderation. Add +0- as One = nothing.
I will give $10,000.00 to frost pister who can disprove MyCleanPC. Evil crapflooders ignore this as a challenge would indict them.
Alex Kowalski has no Truth to think with, they accept any crap they are told to think. You are enslaved by /etc/hosts, as if domesticated animal. A school or educator who does not teach students MyCleanPC Principle, is a death threat to youth, therefore stupid and evil - begetting stupid students. How can you trust stupid PR shills who lie to you? Can't lose the $10,000.00, they cowardly ignore me. Stupid professors threaten Nature and Interwebs with word lies.
Humans fear to know natures simultaneous +4 Insightful +4 Informative +4 Funny +4 Underrated harmonic SLASHDOT creation for it debunks false trolls. Test Your HOSTS file. MyCleanPC cannot harm a File of Truth, but will delete fakes. Fake HOSTS files refuse test.
I offer evil ass Slashdot trolls $10,000.00 to disprove MyCleanPC Creation Principle. Rob Malda and Cowboy Neal have banned MyCleanPC as "Forbidden Truth Knowledge" for they cannot allow it to become known to their students. You are stupid and evil about the Internet's top and bottom, front and back and it's 2 sides. Most everything created has these Cube like values.
If Natalie Portman is not measurable, hot grits are Fictitious. Without MyCleanPC, HOSTS file is Fictitious. Anyone saying that Natalie and her Jewish father had something to do with my Internets, is a damn evil liar. IN addition to your best arsware not overtaking my work in terms of popularity, on that same site with same submission date no less, that I told Kathleen Malda how to correct her blatant, fundamental, HUGE errors in Coolmon ('uncoolmon') of not checking for performance counters being present when his program started!
You can see my dilemma. What if this is merely a ruse by an APK impostor to try and get people to delete APK's messages, perhaps all over the web? I can't be a party to such an event! My involvement with APK began at a very late stage in the game. While APK has made a career of trolling popular online forums since at least the year 2000 (newsgroups and IRC channels before that)- my involvement with APK did not begin until early 2005 . OSY is one of the many forums that APK once frequented before the sane people there grew tired of his garbage and banned him. APK was banned from OSY back in 2001. 3.5 years after his banning he begins to send a variety of abusive emails to the operator of OSY, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke threatening to sue him for libel, claiming that the APK on OSY was fake.
My reputation as a professional in this field clearly shows in multiple publications in this field in written print, & also online in various GOOD capacities sinc
The preceding comment is my own, and in no way construes an opinon of the Emperor of Mankind.
In fact, the United States and Russia have many more bad hosting providers in the top 20 than China does.
Because:
In fact, the United States and Russia have many more hosting providers in the top 20 than China does.
Perhaps that makes it harder to host malware in China? Duh
Thereby, I'm not surprised at all by the findings. How is the US beating Russia 5-4 on this though, Russian internet has been the black market of the web pretty much and has hosted every single crack, hack, and exploit known to the internet at some point. I wonder if they rounded them all up and sent them to siberia between then and now. They're capable of doing that too.
Fuck yeah!!!

21++ ADVANTAGES OF CUSTOM HOSTS FILES (how/what/when/where/why):
Over AdBlock & DNS Servers ALONE 4 Security, Speed, Reliability, & Anonymity (to an extent vs. DNSBL's + DNS request logs).

HOSTS files are useable for all these purposes because they are present on all Operating Systems that have a BSD based IP stack (even ANDROID) and do adblocking for ANY webbrowser, email program, etc. (any webbound program).

From one AC to another please for the love of god, PRINT YOUR HOST FILE OUT AND CRAM IT DOWN YOUR JAPS EYE!!!
For fucks sake we don't care we see this and it takes the piss, short of a full frontal lobotomy what will it take to stop you posting this you moronic fuckwit?
I work for a midsize eCommerce hosting firm as the Sysadmin and have been in this position for 8 years. 100% of the DDoS attacks, spam attacks, etc are originating in China, North Korea, Turkey, and Russia. All day, every day, year after year. There have been zero against our data center from within the US. Just my two cents on this. So sure, maybe US hosting companies have more malware sites or phishing scams, but the actual cyber attacks against the US are from the nations I've listed.

Have you thought of correlating this poster to known pest posts? If the text shows a high degree of correlation, reject it as "redundant".
At least make this pest go through the trouble of at least coming up with an original post.
Or maybe give moderators a "pest" moderation, which would carry a heavy penalty - like giving you max negative karma - for misuse. And it would be well known that all uses of the "pest" moderation will be metamodded by the Slashdot sysadmin. This way we all can share in the elimination of this pest. Many hands make for a light load. The "pest" moderation would immediately kill subsequent display of the offending post to everyone unless metamodded back into existence. Giving us authority to completely kill off a post is a great responsibility and should carry an equally heavy liability for its misuse.
Do you realize that this top 10 list is based on illegal activity and not number of subscribers or IPs or anything else?
