Most Dangerous Web Domains


Here is an interesting story for anyone who surfs the internet, so please take a few moments and read about the most dangerous sites on the Web.

When surfing the Internet for safe Web sites, not all domains are equal.

Companies that assign addresses for Web sites appear to be cutting corners on security more when they assign names in certain domains than in others, according to a report to be released Wednesday by antivirus software vendor McAfee Inc.

McAfee found the most dangerous domains to navigate to are ".hk" (Hong Kong), ".cn" (China) and ".info" (information). Of all ".hk" sites McAfee tested, it flagged 19.2 percent as dangerous or potentially dangerous to visitors; it flagged 11.8 percent of ".cn" sites and 11.7 percent of ".info" sites that way.

No Charges For Internet Tormentor


In an aggravating story just now hitting the news, there will be no justice for Megan Meier, who was tormented into killing herself, by an evil neighborhood Mom.

No criminal charges will be filed against people who sent cruel Internet messages to a 13-year-old girl before she committed suicide, the St. Charles County prosecutor said Monday.


The parents of Megan Meier, of Dardenne Prairie, who hanged herself last year, said her suicide came minutes after she received mean messages through the social networking site MySpace.

This story caught my attention right away, as it seems to me, that it would be unconscionable for an "adult" to harrass, and torment a child, like was done in this case. How immature do you have to be, to play childish games, and intentionally hurt a child of 13? I guess I don't know the answer, but I hope that laws change, to reflect the new reality of the internet, and the truly evil nature of setting people up, only to hurt them, like happened to Megan.

My hope is that the woman who did this will meet Karma, and reap the justice that she has coming! It would seem from the story, that the 18 year old employee that helped create the profile, is already meeting Karma, as he/she is being hospitalized for psychiatric treatment!

Condolences and Hopeful Wishes of Happy Memories of Megan, to her family and friends, and not only remember the tragedy that was her death!
