McAfee has released it's "Mapping the Mal Web Revisited" report. Now in its second year report tries to identify the domains populated with the highest concentration of risky sites.
McAfee found the most dangerous domains to navigate to are ".hk" (Hong Kong), ".cn" (China) and ".info" (information). Of all ".hk" sites McAfee tested, it flagged 19.2 percent as dangerous or potentially dangerous to visitors; it flagged 11.8 percent of ".cn" sites and 11.7 percent of ".info" sites that way. The most popular domain, .com, is the ninth riskiest overall with a little over five percent share.
The least-risky domain names are ".fi" (Finland), ".gov" (government use) and ".jp" (Japan). ".fi" was the safest domain also last year. This time 0.05 percent of ".fi" domain sites were flagged dangerous, as much as government sites in ".gov" domain. Of ".jp" domain sites 0.13 percent were flagged potentially dangerous.
