Norton ranks riskiest cities for cybercrime
Online activity has always been considered to contain a certain amount of risk. Especially if you perform online transaction which will include your personal information. Depending on where you live the risk could be higher! If you live in any of these cities you may want to be a little bit more careful.
In an effort to study and rank the nation’s riskiest cities for cybercrime, Symantec partnered with research firm Sperling’s BestPlaces. The two companies used their own internal research and also checked out key facts and figures on each city, including the number of malware attacks, the number of spam zombies, the number of infected computers, the levels of Internet access, and the number of Wi-Fi hotspots.
Symantec then rated each city using different categories, such as risky online behavior (defined as buying items online and accessing financial information) and the number of cybercrimes per capita.
