China's Dangerous Web Domains

Filed in archive Internet by Greg Cruey on June 06, 2008

A recent report by antivirus software vendor McAfee Inc. has found that some of the most dangerous domains on the Internet are in China. That may not be good for companies setting up Internet-based business there.

In an article on the report, Associated Press Technology Writer Jordan Robertson this:
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.
While the "cn" and "hk" domains get registered in China, the servers using them can be anywhere.

The "ro" (Romania) and "ru" (Russia) domains were also rated as high risk.
