Q: Does a person face an unusually high risk of downloading malicious software — or malware — if they visit a porn site?
A: It depends on the user’s behavior.
Porn sites generally don’t have more malware than other kinds of sites. But some users exhibit risky behavior. They keep click-click-clicking on links that promise free, high-definition porn. The more you do that, the greater your risk of installing malware.
In some cases, the problem is compounded by the fact that a person is so embarrassed about getting a malware infection that they don’t seek technical support in a timely manner.
There’s another risk issue: blackmail. We have see numerous cyber crime campaigns that scare people into paying bogus fines with warnings like this: “This computer was used to visit websites containing illegal pornography.” Obviously a threat like that is more effective if the person receiving it has actually been visiting porn sites.
Anyone who is planning on visiting an adult website should make sure their computer or mobile device has a full suite of up-to-date anti-malware and anti-phishing software, and they should know the latest tricks and scams.
Alternatively, they should use a Chromebook or a cheap secondhand Windows 7 laptop that has no personal information or banking/shopping/email/file-sharing apps on it. And they should be prepared to hit the off switch the moment anything weird happens.
Q: Do hackers develop malware that targets people who use these sites? And is the malware more sophisticated than you would find on other types of sites?
A: Most cyber crime is driven by classic business principles, like return-on-investment and targeted marketing. So, yes, you will see malware on porn sites that leverages video display software.
For example, you might see an advertisemnent that says, “Download this video player now to see this celebrity sex tape” or “your system needs the latest video driver to see this, download it now.”
I have not done enough research to conclude that porn sites are using malware that is more sophisticated than you would find on other types of sites. But I would say that porn-related malware is sometimes as sophisticated as anything you see in any other sector, particularly when it comes to things like click fraud.
Q: As you said, many people are too embarrassed to admit that they downloaded malware from a porn site. Does that mean that security experts don’t have a clear idea of how big of a problem this is?
A: The embarrassment factor definitely complicates things, from gathering accurate metrics to determining the root cause of the problem. Are the adult sites highly infectious? Or could it be that the folks who visit them are naïve and lacking in security awareness?
Either way, I think all security experts have seen a surfeit of computers riddled with malware, spyware, adware, and bloatware, along with a browser history chock full of adult website URLs.
Q: Are there a lot of hackers making a lot of money by placing malware on porn sites?
A: Quantifying the level of criminal hacking activity by sector is not only difficult, but a relatively low priority for resource-strapped authorities who are struggling to document and prosecute mainstream cyber crimes.
Priority tends to be given to tracking attacks on government agencies, the military, finance, energy, and retail sectors. What we can say is that the leading players in the adult website industry have a vested interest in self-policing and ensuring a risk-free customer experience.
Sticking with established sites makes as much sense for porn sites as it does for shopping sites. That said, brand name sites are not immune to problems, as the Ashley Madison hack amply demonstrates.
