Experts say new technology is hurting and helping cyber crime

SAVANNAH, GA (WTOC) – Georgians are taking some of the biggest hits in the country from cyber crime.

The FBI just released new data from 2018 that found when it comes to internet crime victims, Georgia is one of the top 10 states. There have been nearly $3 billion in losses nationwide to cyber crime.
