Have you ever wondered what Countries top the list in cybercrime? Well according to symantec here is the top 15 list

Rank/Countries:
1. United States
2. China
3. Germany
4. Great Britain
5. Brazil
6. Spain
7. Italy
8. France
9. Turkey
10. Poland
11. India
12. Russia
13. Canada
14. South Korea
15. Taiwan

I must say I was kinda shocked. I would have so thought it would have been more the Eastern block like China, Russia as the top on the list. Nope the good ole USA made number one - way to go US. I am wondering if they counted the population of the country to the crimes or are we only talking about the crimes in total?

So what do you think? Shocked, surprised or you pretty much figured it was that?

Re: Top Cybercrime Countries

Yeah I thought the same thing. I guess it shouldn't surprise me that we are up on top but I really would have though Russia or China.

Re: Top Cybercrime Countries

I'm actually surprised it's the U.S. and I can't even believe the philippines is not on that list... but yeah the list is not in the order I would have had it in.
