I have been searching all morning and can't find that statistic, the closest I have been able to come is the BlueCoat study from last year (<a href="http://www.thedomains.com/2015/09/01/bluecoat-study-top-10-shady-sites-in-new-gtlds-is-severely-flawed-as-unlaunched-zip-is-1/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.thedomains.com/2015/09/01/bluecoat-study-top-10-shady-sites-in-new-gtlds-is-severely-flawed-as-unlaunched-zip-is-1/</a>). Is anyone familiar with the statistic and where it originated or did I imagine the whole thing?<br>
