The Financial Post is reporting the finding from a recent study: Burlington, Ontario is Canada's Riskiest Online City!
The study, conduced by security company Symantec, draws conclusion that Burlington is the municipality most vulnerable to identity theft.
"This study is a real eye-opener, demonstrating that larger urban centres, such as Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver, which have a diverse mix of high and low income communities, don't necessarily have the same level of Internet access as do wealthier suburbs like Burlington, Oakville and Kelowna," said Lynn Hargrove, director of consumer solutions for Symantec Canada.
Of the 50 cities examined, Kitchener came in at number 10--so there is a clear case to remain vigilant!
