The Top 10 Malware Sites As Indexed By Google
by Alex Williams |
|
Google has found more than 4,000 malware sites with more than 1,700 originating from China.Â
Of those, Google created a top 10 list that counts the number of compromised web sites that reference it. According to the Google Online Security blog, “All domains on the top-10 list are suspected to have compromised more than 10,000 web sites on the Internet. ”
Here’s the chart (click image to enlarge):
The biggies include Gumblar, which compromised about 60,000 sites. According to Google, Martuz peaked at slightly over 35,000 sites. Beladen.net was also reported to be part of a mass compromise,” but made it only to position 124 on the list with about 3,500 compromised sites.”

| PayPal UK Launch Security Key - Guest Posting from PayPal I am happy to say they are using VeriSign Identity Protection to deliver this, which means that PayPal Customers will be able to use their token at other sites who join the VIP network. PayPal are the first UK members of the network, but there are around 30 other members in different countries around the world so you can expect to see more places where you can use your token in the UK appearing shortly. Facebook scam - Part 2 This just in from the BBC web site, Symantec have identified a virus that steals user names and passwords, nothing new there. But, if I understand this right, it is delivered through a Facebook invitation from someone you don't know and delivers malware which can then steal user names / passwords and also keylog credit card info. Survey finds passwords are not secure - well d'uh! I don't think the vendor community has been crying wolf about the problems that stronger authentication solves, more like highlighting that this problem is here and growing. Well the discussion I have had recently with many different organisations across many different industries are now resulting in more and more consumer projects in this area |
