When looking at cybersecurity risk it is certain that all nations have some kind of cybersecurity risk. The reason for that is the internet is filled with multiple and different types of scams. Or if you’re not even using the internet a person can still get scammed. For example phone calls from people who are faking who they are. That is asking for your credit card number. Simple things like can follow under cyber security risk. The top five nations that are leading in cybersecurity risk are U.S., China, Brazil, Germany, and India.
Now when you view these nations and compare them to the U.S. some follow under the same cybersecurity risk as the U.S. For example, when looking at the top spam sending countries are China, Brazil, U.S., and Russia (Cyber). Spam sending when a person or organization sends spam emails to your email. Now what is dangerous about spam is that most spam sent today is by malware that is known as botnet. Botnet is a network or cluster of malware infected that can be controlled by a cyber criminal that can access and control remotely over the internet (Cyber).
When looking at what countries are low risk cyber threats the U.S. places high on the list. According to SEON, the U.S. places third on the list of low risk cyber threats. Having said that, India places 61, Russia places 42, China places 38, Brazil places 35, and Germany places second on the list provided by SEON.
When laying all this information out you can see even in your a great threat in cybersecurity, you can also be placed in the high end of the safest in cybersecurity. Reason for that is no matter where you are in the world, if there
