P0rn Sites Found To Be Surprisingly Safer Than Normal Sites

Rahul Mehta — Mon, 28 May 2012 18:45:33 +0000

P0rn Websites are always accused to be the most dangerous place on web as everyone around us usually say that these sites are not safe to use and even contain harmful viruses or malware sometimes .But the important and strange thing is that we still access these sites without worrying about the viruses etc etc .Around 50 percent of internet users doesn’t even know that the various sites on the web are spammy and access to these sites can endanger their pc and sometimes them also. One of the funniest thing i observed after reading the Internet security threat report is that the Religious and ideological websites can carry three times more malware as compared to P0rn websites . For some reasons from now i will use an abbreviation of P0rn as pn .A Report released by the Security Software Company Symantec (SYMC) 2011 ranked pn sites at 9th as the riskiest to visit . We have found a list of the most infected sites on web .The list represent he kind of sites that tend to be the most infected as per URL. The list of sites in order of danger is:

Blogs and Web communications
Hosting and personal hosted sites
Business and economy
Education and reference
Technology
Entertainment and music
Automotive
Health and medicine
Pn

According to security Software Company Symantec (SYMC), 20 percent of all blogs and Web communication sites are infected with malicious codes and a strange this to note is that 15 percent of hosting sites are infected and 10 percent of business and economy sites.only 2 percent of pn sites are infected .So users can access them without even worrying about the security stuff .

Symantec Said -

The first known Mac-based bot network emerged in 2009 and 2011 saw a number of new threats emerge for Mac OS X, including trojans like MacDefender, a fake anti-virus program .In addition, many attack tools have become cross-platform, exploiting Java exploits whether they are on Macs or Windows PCs .
