Hong Kong named and shamed on web danger list

McAfee Inc has named Hong Kong as the most dangerous country domain on the web, jumping up 28 places from this time last year. According to the Mapping the Mal Web Revisited report, McAfee says that Tokelau, a tiny island of 1,500 inhabitants in the South Pacific, has lost its crown as king of web danger.
