By The Numbers: 2020 CyberCrime

What’s happening? 2020 saw $3.3 billion in losses to cybercrime. That’s double the 2010 numbers. 4.7 million reports of cybercrime in 2020, that’s a 300% increase from 2010. Any drops in cybercrime during COVID were modest.

Why is this important? Lets look at where cybercrime hits the most and the least:

  • Alaska—$500
  • New Mexico—$420
  • California—$407
