from the top-level domain of .com. The riskiest country domain is
Vietnam (.VN).
The report also found that 6.2 percent of the 27 million websites
analyzed pose a security risk -- up from 5.8 percent last year.
"This report underscores how quickly cybercriminals change tactics to
lure in the most victims and avoid being caught," said Paula Greve,
director of research for McAfee Labs. "Last year, Vietnam=E2=80=99s .VN was a
relatively safe domain, and this year it jumped to the third most
dangerous. Cybercriminals target regions where registering sites is
