Stu Sjouwerman, founder and CEO of US-based computer security consultancy KnowBe4.com told CBC that rather than blacklisting bad sites IT Pros should be "whitelisting" the good ones.


Either way, a rogue bit of code...

I fail to see how white listing would prove terribly effective either TBH.
Surely once a site has been white listed it by default becomes a more attractive target for the malware scrotes to try to spirit their wares into it.

Also a lot of legitimate sites have become the hosts of malware because of security failures.
