In February 2012, the incidence of malware infections on the 25,000 most popular websites was studied. Some of the findings are interesting.

 

Highlights of the infographic:

 

1. Over 10 million people would have been served with malicious software in the month that the survey was done, i.e February 2012.

 

2. United States hosted around half of all infected websites. The Netherlands came in second at 19%.

 

3. 54% of the infected websites are more than 5 years old; 43% of the websites were between 1 and 5 years

 

4. Free-tv-video-online.me, bigresource.com and myplaycity.com are the top 3 infected sites as per Alexa Site Ranking
