Then be careful, Your details and your systems would be in trouble. They might be hacked.
The famous Security company Symantec has created a new report about this issue. It has released a list of 100 Dirtiest WebSites of Summer 2009. The list is created based on the top 100 infected sites based on number of threats detected by Norton Safe Web as of August 2009.
Let us check how we are going to be affected if we browse these sites?
The ‘dirtiest’ 100 websites have an average of 18,000 threats, with 40 of them each exceeding 20,000, according to security vendor Symantec.
Norton Safe Web analyzes sites using signature-based file scanning, intrusion detection engines, behavioral detection and install/uninstall analysis to identify security risks including phishing sites, malicious downloads, browser exploits and links to unsafe external sites. In other words – dirty stuff you don’t want on your computer!
In addition, 75 percent of the dirtiest websites have distributed malware for more than six months.
Nearly half (48 percent) are sites with adult content, but there are also subjects ranging from purchasing electronics to figure skating and deer hunting. Simply visiting such sites — not downloading files or clicking on links — could put a user at risk of system infection; and worse, one’s identity, personal and financial information may even land in the hands of cybercriminals, Symantec warned.
Among the blacklisted was aladelnet, a US site found to carry 56,371 threats, including the Downloader Trojan.
Several Chinese sites — qsng.cn, stock888.cn and yt118.com — were included in Symantec’s sample list of dirtiest sites.
