Google’s security team has identified the current Top 10 malware sites in the world. The list reads like a rogue’s gallery of the darker side of the web. Sites listed generally use ‘drive-by downloading’ to install and run malware on vistors’ computers automatically. To make things worse many of these domains are linked through to via advertising and other third party content on a vast number of high-traffic websites.
Current king of malware is Gumblar.cn, one of 1400 Chinese-registered domains on Google’s list. Their figures counted 60,000 sites infected with its payload which according to this account injects malicious Javascript code into every HTML file it can find. Meanwhile, Goooogleadsence.biz and googleanalytics.net were two of a number of sites trying to fool people into believing they were visiting a Google site.
Malware infections are a growing problem. Popular celebrity gossip site Digital Spy had to apologise this week after it inadvertently served up malware in banner ads.

Damn 94.247.2.195 was my favorite site too. Malware bastards!
I do not think this report is focuses on the right thing. It would be really interesting to know what percentage of WEB visitors visit these 10 of infected sites and the rest of sites. I would bet that the biggest concern is that malware infections are widely-spread, not amount of infections in single site.
I use Linux who cares
I think every 1-2 week the sites in the list woul be different
WHAT.
Yeah, an absolutely useless statistic.
Those of us that don’t care.
