As according to the " FORBES "
It’s no secret that online security is a global problem. Businesses and government agencies are hacked, corporations, hospitals and individuals are held up with ransomware, credit card numbers and passwords are routinely stolen. Cybercrime is ubiquitous and unrelenting. How bad is it? Which countries are the most and least safe? Comparitech has created a well-designed infographic that answers these questions at a glance.
Comparitech is a “pro-consumer website providing information, tools and [product] comparison[s] to help consumers in the US, UK and further afield to research and compare tech services” related to internet security. The company created an informative infographic about cyber safety around the world based on data from Statista, the International Telecommunication Union, Freedom House and the UK’s Telegraph news organization.
China has the highest rate of malware infections (49%!) in the world; Sweden (19.88%) has the lowest. The worst three countries for malware infections are China, Taiwan and Turkey. The best are Sweden, Finland and Norway. The UK is the sixth best with a 23.38% infection rate. The US does not appear among either the best or worst top ten.
A number of sources have reported on the extensive and increasing ransomware threat. India leads the world in users (9.6%) who have suffered a ransomware attack. The US is the tenth worst country for ransomware attacks (1.41%). The UK did not make the top ten – a good thing – while Italy ranked fourth (5.25%) and Germany ranked fifth (4.26%).
In addition to the highest rate of malware infections, China is home to 29.56% of the world’s DDOS (distributed denial of service) attacks. The US comes in second with 21.59% and the UK third with 16.17% of the world totals.
