McAfee Revealed the Most Dangerous Domain Zones

McAfee tried to reveal the most dangerous domain zones in its annual report “Mapping the Mal Web”. It seems that some domain zones provide to domain owners more opportunities for violation of security rules then other ones. According to McAfee the most dangerous zones are “.hk” (Hong Kong) – 19.2 % of websites, “.cn” (China) – 11.8% and “.info” – 11.7%. Only 5% of websites of “.com” domain zone are dangerous. Some domain name registrars reduce requirements and deflate to attract more customers. Due to this fact a lot of spammers and developers of harmful codes have opportunity to register domain name. Unfortunately domain name registrars which are responsible for this fact are not mentioned in McAfee report. Another dangerous domain zones are “.ro” (Romania) – 6.8% of websites and “.ru” (Russia) - 6%. The Author of this report is Shane Keats who said that “Mapping the Mal Web” was based on analysis of more than 9.9 million websites. According to McAfee the most secure domain zones are “.gov” – 0.05%, “.jp” (Japan) – 0.1%, “.au” (Australia) – 0.3%.
