Cameroon (.cm)
Topping the list is Africa's Cameroon (.cm) which has overthrown Hong Kong (.hk) as the Web's riskiest domain. Entering for the first time in the list, Cameroon, a small African country that borders Nigeria, jumped to the number one spot this year with 36.7% of the .cm domain posing a security risk.
According to the report, because the domain .cm is a common typo for .com, many cyber criminals set up fake typo-squatting sites that lead to malicious downloads, spyware, adware and other potentially unwanted programmes.
Last year's riskiest domain, Hong Kong (.hk) dropped to 34th place with a risk rating of only 1.1%.
