.net and .com are still pulling 80% of their weight when it comes to cybercrime.
The article states it's half that.
"while .com and .net domains made up approximately half of all domains registered in the past year… they accounted for just over 40 percent of all cybercrime domains. Interisle says an almost equal share — 37 percent — of cybercrime domains were registered through new gTLDs."
- a_gray 2y ago> The article states it's half that. No, the article agrees with dmurray. Read again: 80% of 50% is 40%.
- bloppe 2y agoYou seem to be implying that 80% of com/net domains are used for cybercrime, which is not a sound conclusion from those numbers. You're confusing "percent of all domains" with "percent of crime domains". You can't just divide them to get something meaningful.
- calfuris 2y agoNo, the statement was that ".net and .com are still pulling 80% of their weight when it comes to cybercrime." I read that as saying that .net and .com domains show up in cybercrime 80% as often as would be expected if all TLDs were equally likely to be used for cybercrime.
