Google has revealed a new analysis of five years’ worth of data gathered by its Safe Browsing service.

The analysis, as any discussion of online security seems obliged to, includes lots of Scary Big NumbersTM, such as the 9500 malware-infected sites the Chocolate Factory says it finds every day or the 12-14 million warnings it offers users to avoid sources of various threats.


There’s also some good news, as the study also shows that the prevalence of infected sites peaked in 2009.
