Some interesting news here has been released stating that “web risk” has increased to a record 6.2% of more than 27 million domain names.
Apparently one of the world’s most heavily trafficked domains, .COM, is now the riskiest domain to visit:
While .COM is the riskiest top-level domain, the riskiest country domain is Vietnam (.VN). Japan’s .JP ranks as the safest country domain for the second year in a row and .TRAVEL as the safest overall domain.
It’s interesting to note that .JP (currently $89.99 at GoDaddy) and .TRAVEL ($89.99 at Moniker) domains are also some of the most expensive domains.
The question that is naturally asked is whether or not cybercriminals are going the cheap-route with other people’s credit cards or do higher prices make them more risky?
