Re: .US Harbors Prolific Malicious Link Shortening Service

[Allan Liska <allan () allan vin>]

I think it is a matter of proportionality. 

According to Spamhaus malicious domains account for only 1.5% of all .com domains, but 4.8% of all .us domains 
(https://www.spamhaus.org/statistics/tlds/) - compare that to .tk where 6.7% of all domains are malicious.
