New Report: Mapping the Mal Web

Vast parts of the web are quite safe to visit, but others invite risk—whether that risk comes in the relatively mild form of a popup, or something more dangerous like malware that gives a hacker access to “see” everything you type. Our latest report maps the most risky countries, and offers a comprehensive guide to where it’s safer to visit, and where you should proceed with caution.

Most Dangerous Search Terms

Not all websites are created equal, as this report from McAfee makes clear. The authors examine a growing phenomenon–the use of search engines as tools for ill-gotten profit–by analysing the risks incurred in searching for 2,600 of the world’s most popular words and phrases. If you’ve ever searched for lyrics, thought about downloading a celebrity screensaver, or been enticed by the offer of a free iPod, you owe it to yourself to read this report.
