A digital service provider analyzed available data to find the states where people are most worried about and suffer the greatest losses from internet crime.<\/p>\n
OCALA, FL (352today.com<\/a>) \u2013 A new report from online data supplier and proxy service provider Floxy<\/a> claims Florida is in the top five states in the nation with the highest digital privacy risk and lowest digital literacy.<\/p>\n The Sunshine State ranked fifth in the study, which considered four factors to produce its findings: how well residents can identify scams and unsafe online behavior; internet crime (IC) complaints per capita; financial losses due to those IC reports per capita; and search volume for online safety terms and keywords, such as \u201cdigital privacy\u201d and \u201conline security.\u201d<\/p>\n Florida, which reportedly produced 306 IC complaints per 100,000 residents that cost the public roughly $6.8 million in losses last year, didn\u2019t score overwhelmingly negatively in any particular metric, according to a statement announcing the results of the study.<\/p>\n \u201cNo single factor puts Florida at the very top, but the state scores consistently across all four measures, which keeps its overall danger level elevated,\u201d the statement read.<\/p>\n It should be noted that this is an analysis of available data, and not a scientific study.<\/p>\n The top five states with the highest digital privacy risk, per Floxy:<\/p>\n Nevada<\/p>\n California<\/p>\n Arizona<\/p>\n Texas<\/p>\n Florida<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A digital service provider analyzed available data to find the states where people are most worried about and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":316891,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[28,30,29],"class_list":["post-316890","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-florida","tag-florida","tag-florida-headlines","tag-florida-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/316890","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=316890"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/316890\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/316891"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=316890"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=316890"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=316890"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
