A new malware infected webpage is being discovered every five seconds, security experts warned this week.

Sophos identified an average of more than 15,000 newly infected web pages each day from 1 January to 31 March 2008, and 79 per cent of these malware-hosting sites are found on legitimate websites that have been hacked.

In contrast, just one in every 2,500 emails is now infected, compared to one in every 909 in 2007.
