Nice EU Funded Work If You Can Get It…
From the BBC we are stunned to learn that “‘Shady’ porn site practices put visitors at risk“.
Visitors to porn sites are at serious risk of being exploited by cyber criminals, a study has suggested.
…yadda yadda yadda….
Statistics suggest that approximately 12% of all websites offer pornography of one sort or another and that 70% of men under 24 browse these sites.
So what did these researchers student seekers after truth do?
As a first step the researchers trawled pornographic sites to classify what they found and how the industry was structured.
And they were being paid for this, presumably.
More than 90% of the 35,000 pornographic domains analysed in the study were free sites. The researchers analysed the 269,000 websites hosted on the 35,000 domains…
Yes, until dehydration, cramp and blindness took their toll.
Pity poor old Dr Gilbert Wondracek from a company called International Secure Systems Lab – a bunch of students and their lecturers at the University of Vienna who get to do all this on money from, amongst others, the EU (i.e. us taxpayers).
Bunch of wankers …
“The problem is that new sites are appearing faster than we can properly appraise them. It’s a thankless task.”

Yes, it could well become a very sticky situation if not carefully monitored .. 😉
Literally. We didn’t have school science projects like this in my day…
Excellent spoof, thanks for that. Right on the money.
What measures were taken to protect the researchers from the illegal stuff :-E ? If the researchers vetted each site it would render using interns pointless and in any case their hard drives would be full of illegal muck; sex case register and gaol time for all :'( .
Imagine – where else would you get it – being paid to trawl porn sites and Jodrell yourself silly – old Dr Wondercrack knows a good job when he’s offered it! 😛 😀
