A leading security vendor called Finjan recently reported that U.S.-based servers are potentially hosting malicious code. So, stop blaming China, Russia or eastern European countries to be the hot spot for overwhelming majority of malicious code. Yuval Ben-Itzhak, chief technology officer Finjan maintained that the result has been formed on the ground a study of over 10 million URLs gathered from live end-user traffic in the U.K making use of Finjan’s content inspection engines. Ben-Itzhak further said that unlike some other studies, which take a look at domain names to guess on where a server is grounded, Finjan’s study claimed to have spotted each IP address to its accurate geographical location.
He also said that the majority of people consider Russia and China are the key culprit to bring about malicious code, but in fact this does not seem to be valid any longer, as the latest revelation of the report claim that almost 80 per cent of the nasty code originates from servers based in the U.S. Whereas the other top nations distributing nasty or perni-cious code are the U.K., with 10 per cent, Canada, Germany and Italy. So, after coming up with the result of the latest research conducted by Finjan blow apart the saga that nasty code is mainly being hosted in nations where e-crime laws are not highly developed.
