Honolulu nearly made the Norton Top 10 Riskiest Online Cities list. It was No. 11.

The report released yesterday by security software maker Symantec Corp. says Seattle residents are at greatest risk of cybercrime.

The company said rankings were determined through a combination of data on cyberattacks and potential malware infections. Also included was third-party information about online behavior, such as accessing Wi-Fi hotspots and online shopping.

It said Seattle placed near the top in such categories as cyberattacks, potential infections and online behavior that can expose people to cybercrime.
