Top Ten American Cybercrime Cities List Released

Seal from the DOD's Cyber Crime Center.
Note 0s and 1s below the eagle.
Do you live in one the United States' major cybercrime zones? Well, if you live in New York, congratulations. The city that claims to be first in just about everything is tops in American-based cybercrime, according to a story in today's Chicago Tribune.

What other cities are on the list? LA, natch. Surprisingly, Miami is not in the top ten. Neither are high-tech capitals, such as San Jose, Boston, or Seattle. I'm not certain how Omaha ended up fifth; perhaps the city's premier resident, Warren Buffett, has a notion.

The list was compiled by a private, Bay Area-based security firm. The Department of Defense's Cyber Crime Center, which one would imagine have its own "Top Ten" list, tends to be more discreet.
