Armenian .AM the fifth riskiest domainOctober 29, 2010 - 17:51 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - In this year’s Mapping the Mal Web study, McAfee computer security company found that web risk climbed to a record 6.2% of more than 27 million live domains evaluated for this report. In this fourth annual analysis of the relative risk of top-level domains (TLD), McAfee has found overall web risk is up from last year. The company saw increasing risk in some already risky portions of the web, such as .INFO; some significant reductions in risk within last year’s riskiest TLDs, especially Singapore (.SG) and Venezuela (.VE); and some new areas of concern, including Vietnam (.VN), Armenia (.AM), and Poland (.PL). With a weighted risk of 31.3%, .COM (Commercial - the most heavily trafficked TLD) was the most risky TLD. It took this title from .CM (Cameroon), which fell to fourth place this year, while .INFO jockeyed for a more risky position, up to second place from fifth place last year. The five TLDs with the greatest percentage of risky registrations were: -- .COM (Commercial) 31.3%; -- .INFO (Information) 30.7%; -- .VN (Vietnam) 29.4%; -- .CM (Cameroon) 22.2%; -- .AM (Armenia) 12.1%. As in last year’s report, this report uses the McAfee Global Threat Intelligence database, which reflects data from more than 150 million sensors located in more than 120 countries. These sensors—individual computers, gateway network devices, endpoint software, in-the-cloud hosted services—come from consumers, small- and mid-sized businesses, enterprise customers, educational institutions, and governmental agencies.
