Cyber criminals would be so much easier to catch if they dressed

Cyber criminals would be so much easier to catch if they dressed like real life criminals.When it comes to crime, Seattle is a relatively safe city. But that’s only in the real world. Online, its more like East St. Louis after midnight.So says security firm Symantec. Who, in a study that amounts to one big sales push for their virus-blocking software, found that Seattle is the “riskiest” in the nation when it comes to cyber crime.How’d we get so dangerous? In short, Seattleites use the internet more often, and for more sensitive transactions, than anyone else. We beat out Boston and Washington, D.C. in part because we can’t get enough of online banking. Which, to a cyber criminal, makes us look like a blind man walking down a dark alley holding a giant traveler’s check.The good news: it’s still a lot less traumatic to be robbed on a Bank of America server, rather than at a Bank of America ATM.
