Well this is another of these 'noshit' moments isn't it... Good thing I'm paranoid about all my online activity. Never been hacked or anything. Any attempts have been thwarted at my hands *evil laugh*.

Let's make one thing clear: It is still a horrible idea to just visit some illict porn site and start downloading everything you see. That will turn out badly.
So really, there is still a higher chance of picking up malware from illicit sites?

But of course. What we have here is another skewed study based upon finding facts to fit the belief instead of seeing where the facts actually lead...like to the truth. No, there is literal metric tons of shit on internet and the dirtier it is, the worse it will be. Legit sites are like Wall Street. Just because people put up gang signs doesn't mean it's more likely. It means that people will put their shit anywhere, so keep an open eye.
