A new risk index has named Alaska as the state most vulnerable to cybercrime.

The index was created by payments platform Cardconnect using data published by the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Crime Complaint Center.
The company analyzed state-by-state statistics on four of the most prominent types of online crime—credit card fraud, identity theft, personal data breaches, and phishing scams that involve phishing, vishing, smishing, and pharming.

At just one point behind Alaska, Nevada was found to be the second riskiest state for cybercrime, scoring 50 out of 50 for identity theft and personal data breaches and 49 out of 50 for credit card fraud.
