‘Dirtiest Web Sites of Summer’ identified by Symantec

Symantec is out with its “Dirtiest Web Sites of Summer 2009,” which it’s calling “the worst of the worst” when it comes to malware threats.
The security vendor says that “48 percent of the Dirtiest Web Sites are, well, dirty–sites that feature adult content.” That means that more than half the sites cover a wide range of other categories including legal services, catering, figure skating, and electronics shopping, according to the report.

On average, sites on the dirtiest list have 18,000 threats per site, but 40 of the sites have in excess of 20,000 threats. One site that appears to offer restaurant catering services has 23,414 computer threats
“The number of web attacks is off the charts because it’s the easiest path into a consumer’s machine” said Gerry Egan, Symantec’s director of security response.
