China and Hong Kong: World’s Most Dangerous Websites
McAfee, the company that makes money protecting Microsoft customers from viruses, warns that the .hk and .cn domains are the world’s most dangerous to surf.
19.2% of all Web sites ending in the “.hk” domain pose a security threat1 to Web users. China (.cn) is second this year with over 11%. By contrast, Finland (.fi) remains the safest online destination for the second year with 0.05%, followed by Japan (.jp).
The domain .info was also found to have a high level of risk. Perhaps because the .info appears to be informational.
For these findings, McAfee analyzed 9.9 million heavily trafficked Web sites in 265 different domains, including countries (those ending in country letters e.g. Brazil .br) and generics (those ending in .net or .info for example).
In a separate and highly unscientific survey, the author of this blog found that 97.3 percent of anti-virus press releases use scare tactics.
