A new study from researchers in Australia and the UK has mapped out the sources of cybercrime around the world.
Researchers measured a country’s scale of cyberattacks based on categories including impact, professionalism, technical skill, money laundering, and identity theft to deliver a score out of 100.
Australia, a comparative minnow in the world of big-time hacking, only came in at 34th with a score of 0.95.
Here are the top 10 on the groundbreaking new World Cybercrime Index.
