eNom accused of being number one for malware sites
Demand Media’s eNom is host to an unusually high concentration of malicious websites, making it the world’s worst ISP, according to HostExploit researchers.
The internet domain name registrar is now under investigation by ICANN, the group responsible for managing the domain name system.
eNom is the world’s second largest registrar but HostExploit, a team of volunteer researchers, has claimed in a report the Demand Media division was the world’s worst ISP during the second quarter of this year. The ranking is based on the degree to which eNom is used to distribute spam and malicious software.
ICANN is looking into the accusation after HostExploit not only accused eNom of hosting an unusually large population of malicious websites, but also claimed it was a preferred domain name registrar for pharmaceutical spammers.
