While scanning its index, Google in the last two months reports to have found more than 4,000 different websites suspected of distributing malware by massively compromising popular websites. "Of these domains more than 1,400 were hosted in the .cn TLD. Several contained plays on the name of Google such as goooogleadsence.biz, etc.," says Google's security team member, Niels Provos, in a blog post today.

As explained by Provos, the graph above shows the top 10 malware sites based on the number of compromised websites that referenced it. "All domains on the top-10 list are suspected to have compromised more than 10,000 web sites on the Internet."
