\n| Minnesota<\/td>\n | $5,825<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n Alaska brings up the rear with a $1,205 figure. Arizona\u2019s figure is so high because it\u2019s home to so many healthcare organization. Healthcare info is among the most valuable when you\u2019re attempting identity theft, hence the figure being nearly $10K.<\/p>\n Cybercrime by State: Victims per Capita<\/h2>\nRemember how Alaska was just ranked 50th<\/sup> for having the lowest cost per victim in the cybercrime department? The shoe\u2019s on the other foot in this category. Alaska is dead last in terms of most victims per capita. Out of every 10,000 people, 19.2 are victimized in Alaska. For a sense of context, that\u2019s over 100% higher than it should be, based on the rest of the country. In both of the Dakotas, which rank the lowest, that number is 4.7.<\/p>\n\n\n\nState<\/strong><\/td>\nVictims per Capita (10,000)<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n| Alaska<\/td>\n | 19.2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| Washington, DC<\/td>\n | 16.5<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| Nevada<\/td>\n | 15.6<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| California<\/td>\n | 14.2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| Colorado<\/td>\n | 14.1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| Hawaii<\/td>\n | 13.5<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| Maryland<\/td>\n | 11.2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| Virginia<\/td>\n | 11.1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| Florida<\/td>\n | 10.4<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| Washington<\/td>\n | 10.1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\nCybercrime by State: Most Dangerous States<\/h2>\nFinally, let\u2019s flip that category and look at which states have the most cybercriminals per capita. It\u2019s worth pointing out that the header for this section is supremely misleading. Given the global nature of the internet, just because a state has a lot of cybercriminals doesn\u2019t mean that they\u2019re all conducting cybercrime within that state\u2019s borders. I\u2019m not a cybercriminal personally, but I think the expression goes something to the tune of \u2018don\u2019t poop where you sleep.\u2019 Not sure if that logic holds true for cybercriminals or not.<\/p>\n Anyway, here\u2019s the most dangerous states in terms of cybercriminals per capita.<\/p>\n \n\n\nState<\/strong><\/td>\nCybercriminals per Capita (10,000)<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n| Washington, DC<\/td>\n | 12.6<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| Nebraska<\/td>\n | 11.2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| Delaware<\/td>\n | 8.5<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| Nevada<\/td>\n | 6.9<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| Montana<\/td>\n | 6.4<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| Maryland<\/td>\n | 5.2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| California<\/td>\n | 5.0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| Virginia<\/td>\n | 4.5<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| North Dakota<\/td>\n | 4.2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| Florida<\/td>\n | 4.2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n So, that\u2019s a quick look at cybercrime by state. And also a nice reminder that if you\u2019re not investing in yours and your organization\u2019s cybersecurity, you\u2019re potentially opening yourself up for major losses both financially and in other less tangible areas.
