McAfee Ranks the Riskiest Web Domains

The most risky large country domains are Romania (.ro, 5.6% risky sites) and Russia (.ru, 4.5% risky sites). These country domains are also the most likely to host exploit or “drive-by-download” sites, according to the report. Scandinavia holds three of the five least risky country domains with Finland (0.10%), Norway (.no, 0.16%) and Sweden (.se, 0.21%).

Not surprisingly, .edu and .gov proved to be the safest top-level domains on the web. Chances are good that the tainted .edu domains were hacked or thrown together by idiots, since it’s a rather exclusive top-level to get ahold of. Romania and Russia had the largest amount of bad domains… expected.
