Only 1% of websites are infected with malware at any given time, but this translates to a colossal 17.6 million websites overall, a new report shows.
Many visitors, and website owners, rely on their search engine of choice to tell them whether any particular site is infected -- but only 15% of infected websites are blacklisted by the search engines.

SQLi vulnerabilities are found in 6% of sites, and 2% of those have malware. Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerabilities are present in 1% of sites, and of those, 3% have malware.

The most common categories of malware found on websites are backdoors, shells and JavaScript files. JavaScript files differ from backdoors and shells because their primary intent is to hijack visitors rather than take control of the website.
Stealthier attacks are higher. These include backdoors, shell and file modification -- which were found on 50% of all infected websites.
