That said, it may be hard to tell the “legit” porn sites from malware-hosting sites that use porn as a lure. “Unfortunately, staying away from those sites won’t keep you safe by itself, because innocent sites get hacked all the time, and are used as lures to draw victims to the attack servers.”Īnd as mentioned earlier, many porn sites operate as actual, legitimate businesses that want to attract and retain customers. If you make a habit of it, it’s a given that you’ll be attacked at some point,” says Roger Thompson, chief research officer with security firm AVG. “There is no doubt that visiting Websites of ill-repute is deadly dangerous.
