Mapping The Mal Web

Online safety risks are a truly global issue. Yet differences in threats vary significantly by country and other factors, for example:

* A consumer is almost 12 times more likely to encounter a drive-by-download while surfing Russian and Columbian domains.

* Registering at a web site in India results in a 4.3% chance of getting spammy e-mail. Taking the same action with a domain registered in China yields a 7.2% chance.

* 5.2% of Vietnamese web sites have risky downloads.

* 2.7 million times every month, casual web surfers visit risky Dutch web sites (not this one, don't worry).
