The Enigma Software Group tracks and maps current malware infection rates.
Coincidentally, Atlanta also "happens" to be the capital of the "payments world."



New York and Los Angeles are major metropolitan areas with exponentially larger populations than most other US cities, so they lead the way for total volume of malware infections. If you break the infection rate down per capita based on population, though, Atlanta comes out on top (or is it on the bottom?) of the heap with the highest malware infection rate.
Enigma Software Group maintains a real-time map displaying the infection rate in cities across the United States. If you are looking to establish or relocate a business, perhaps you should consult the map first to avoid regions that seem more prone to malware infection.  "Malware makers are becoming more and more sophisticated, and the risk they pose to your computer and your valuable personal information is growing," says Enigma Software Group CEO Alvin Estevez. "We think it's important to keep an eye on where the malware is doing the most damage and our Malware Tracker map helps us and consumers know what's going on."





The Enigma Software Group map shows overall malware infection rates, but also allows you to drill down by specific malware threats--displaying results specific to the top 10 current malware threats.  <<read more>>
