Threat Lab Q3 Report: Malware and Phishing Web Sites
Based on data collected in Q3 2009, we found that business related sites were most likely to host malware. Pornography and sexually explicit sites came in at number 2 this quarter. As a sign of the economic times, real estate, shopping, and travel sites also made the top 10.
As for sites manipulated by phishing, health & medicine related sites still top the list, followed closely by sex education and finance. The rest of the top 10 contained no surprises, however we do see a drop in social networking phishing sites. That may be due to more awareness on the existence of such sites being exploited for phishing.
