TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) - A recent study ranks several Florida locations as one of the top risk areas in the country for cyber-security threats.
The study was done by Coronet, a cybersecurity firm.
It ranked Tampa-St. Petersburg as the 10th most vulnerable metro, Orlando-Daytona Beach as the ninth, West Palm Beach-Fort Pierce eighth and Jacksonville seventh.
Tallahassee was not on the list, but Tallahassee Community College is taking action to make sure kids know how to be safe on the internet.
They are currently enrolling students in their cyber-security summer program.
"Everything that we have going on in the world is basically technology based and everything is going over networks and the internet and right now," said Jessica Griffin, who is the TCC program coordinator of workforce development. "When it comes to youth, they're doing everything from social media to emails its very important for our youth to start early to know what their doing can actually impact them."
The program will hold a camp June 25th to the 29th in Leon County, and they are holding another in Wakulla County July 11th through the 16th.
