Malicious Activity
Malicious activity continues to increase.
Dr. Egon Spengler might as well have been describing malicious web activity when he said, "Well, let's say this Twinkie represents the normal amount of psychokinetic energy in the New York area. Based on this morning's sample, it would be a Twinkie... thirty-five feet long, weighing approximately six hundred pounds."
That's a big Twinkie. And a big dose of malicious activity dominating shady TLDs, namely, scams, spam, suspicious activity and potentially unwanted software (PUS). Most of these websites are being leveraged by attackers in spam and scams and to distribute potentially unwanted software. Others are related to search engine optimization/ positioning or other "junk sites" that would be classified as suspicious.
