Symantec: religious sites have more viruses than porn sites
In accordance with research data, religious and ideological sites may contain several times more threats than porn sites. The Symantec annual report also mentions that most of these viruses target Android.
Symantec estimates that the average number of threats on religious sites is about 115, and on adult sites is about 25. And this is taking into account that there are still far more porn sites than religious sites.
In total, only 2.4 percent of all porn sites (imagine, people work - to investigate ALL porn sites) were infected with malware.

Many people think that there should be more viruses on porn sites, but this is not the case - the owners of such resources earn good money, therefore they themselves are interested in the security of their sites - otherwise the visitors will no longer return to the site again and again.
The Symantec report notes that the proportion of viruses for Android has grown by 93%. Almost half of the malware collect data and track user actions, and a quarter send SMS messages for paid subscriptions.
