Web wanderers are more likely to get a computer virus by visiting a religious website than by peering at porn, according to a study released on Tuesday.

Websites with religious or ideological themes were found to have triple the average number of "threats" that those featuring adult content, according to Symantec.

Now that's something I never knew.

Well, it's not that they are intentionally infecting people. I would guess a lot of religious websites are done by amateurs with a lot less money to pay for professional web admin people. The porn people depend on it for income, and of course are going to pay whatever it takes to secure it. Maybe there's a little bit of naivete involved. Or I can even imagine hackers targeting religious websites. kj.

that was my thought. The hackers know that there are more sheep to be had with the religious 'webmasters', cruisers, etc...
