Mcafee Releases interesting malware report….

You can see it here:

http://us.mcafee.com/en-us/local/docs/Mapping_Mal_Web.pdf?cid=45044

Introduction and Key Findings In March 2007, McAfee released the first comprehensive map of malicious web sites across the world. For the first time, Mapping the Mal Web offered a comprehensive guidebook for web tourists—where it was safe to surf and where searchers should avoid. A year later, we revisited the data and found both remarkable continuity—and remarkable change—in the web safety landscape.

Overall risk in 2008 remains roughly • constant compared to 2007, with 4.1 percent of web sites in these 74 domains rated red (avoid) and yellow (use caution), the
same percentage as last year.

• At 5.26 percent, .com (the most heavily trafficked toplevel
domain, or TLD) is riskier than the average web site
by 1.16 percentage points, or 28.3 percent.

• Hong Kong (.hk) soared in 2008 to become the most risky
country TLD, with 19.2 percent of all sites tested rated
red or yellow. China (.cn) was second with 11.8 percent.
By comparison, last year, Tokelau (.tk) was first with
10.1 percent.

• The most risky generic TLD remains .info, with 11.8
percent of all sites tested rated red or yellow. The most
popular domain, .com, is rated ninth riskiest overall with
5.3 percent, and is the fourth riskiest generic TLD.

• In the Europe, Middle East, and Africa regions, Romania
(.ro) and Russia (.ru) continue to be risky surfing
destinations; 6.8 percent of Romanian and 6.0 percent of
Russian domains are rated risky.

• In the North, South, and Latin America regions, the
United States (.us) domain is riskiest, with 2.1 percent.
The Americas TLDs remain relatively safe to surf.

Must see Studio Lighting Primer…..

demystlogo

Finally – TWIP Steps up and solves some basic issues – Mainly the issue that no one deals with the basics anymore, they all assume everyone knows what all their equipment does right out of the box and knows how to set it all up….

Scott over at TWIP did a very good primer on basic studio lighting and basic setup…

It is well worth a watch for the beginner to studio lighting……

He makes it easy to understand and also covers the basics that many just toss aside…..

Thanks goes to Scott and the folks at www.twipphoto.com for finally putting together a photo podcast that truly does not suck…
