A new study has identified the countries with the highest levels of cybercrime based on various factors. Australia ranks 34th with a score of 0.95, indicating a relatively low level of cyberattacks.

A new study from researchers in Australia and the UK has mapped out the sources of cybercrime around the world.

Researchers measured a country's scale of cyberattacks based on categories including impact, professionalism, technical skill, money laundering, and identity theft to deliver a score out of 100. Australia, a comparative minnow in the world of big-time hacking, only came in at 34th with a score of 0.95.Co-author of the study, Dr Miranda Bruce from UNSW Canberra and the University of Oxford, said the study will enable the public and private sectors to focus their resources on key cybercrime hubs and spend less time and funds on cybercrime countermeasures in countries where the problem is not as significant.
