QC FYI: Porn Sites May Be Safer Than Non-Porn Sites

You already knew that QueerClick has your back when it comes to online security, but now a study from the Czech Republic anti-virus software developer Avast claims that porn sites might actually be safer in terms of viruses, hacking, and identity theft than non-porn websites.

Avast CTP Ondrej Vlcek said that the statistics are clear—for every infected adult domain they identify, there are 99 others with non-adult content that are also infected.

In the study, the worst infections were found on more popular sites with higher traffic, and the report states that there was a higher infection rate in websites with the word “London” in the title than “sex”. One of the most infected sites, Avast discovered, was Vodafone’s smartphone section…

Because the porn industry is a pioneer in digital technology, the security measures taken are top notch. Increased security and smarter browser controls have forced hackers to look at other sites that might be slightly more vulnerable, sites where people do not expect viruses.

Who knew? It’s kinda like deciding whether to go home with the shy nerdy guy or the slutty go-go boy. The go-go boy might be slutty, but maybe he takes more safe sex precautions than the syphilitic nerd. Now, we’re not suggesting that you all go out and visit FuckDongs-CreditTheft.com, but you can safely visit all of the porn sites on our blogroll no problem!
