One of the cornerstones of EVE is that you are nowhere safe. Not even in "high security" space. Highsec has some safety mechanics, you can't use bubblecamps, the faction NPC police camps every gate and attacks pirates below -5 security status, and if someone attacks a non-red soon undefeatable CONCORD ships will arrive and oneshot him. The above doesn't stop PvP in high sec, just like the graph I found at Sugar shows:

The official statistics says that while your chance to be killed in highsec is the lowest, it's not zero. So you shall always look behind your back, EVE is a nasty, dark, unfair and unsafe place. Bullshit!

The picture shows the Jita-Dodixie path. Overlaid on it you can see my character sheet, showing that it's not a screenshot from my alt. I traveled this path 322 times. The "last time visited" is clearly bugged, it's probably "first time visited", as my character was 12 days old on that date. The last date was yesterday when I did one last test. However if we divide the 322 by two (as I returned from Dodixie every time I went there) you find a number suspiciously close to my age in the game. The only explanation for it is that - despite I claimed otherwise - until I found a contracted hauler I hauled my wares, first skillbooks then implants on my main, in a frigate size ship. Yes, my main, known from the blog, gathering more hatered than probably any other and known to haul billions was happily and safely hauling for several months. No one bothered to gank me once. Those who read my blog accepted my lie that I have an interceptor alt, those who don't simply ignored my rather unortodox industrial ship.
If you check out the various reddit hate topics, you find a dozen "i go n gank this prick" comments, yet nobody came. The imaginary pirates on Perimiter gate that I crossed more than 1000 times also never bothered to stop me. It would be hard to imagine more lucrative target than me: both widely known and hated and has billions in the hold. Yet I wasn't even targeted once. The danger in highsec is irrelevant if you do your things right.
Who are the 15.09% dead who happen to die in highsec? Extremely careless people. Those who do one of the capital case fails in EVE, equivalent only to walking to Orgrimmar as a lvl1 human paladin:
If I was not harassed for months flying the same route every day with billions under a widely known name, what are the chances of you losing a ship (without retarded fails)? Similar to car accidents. They happen. We read the news. Yet ordinary people drive their car every day without being scared or considering their activity something uber-hardcore.
Tuesday morning report: 128.9B (2.5B spent on main accounts, 1.9 spent on Logi/Carrier, 1.7 on Ragnarok, 1.1 on Rorqual, 1.4 on Nyx, 1.3+0.5 on Avatar).
My assets decreased and the "2.6B received as gift" disappeared. I gifted that 2.6B away for noble cause. It won't appear on my graphs as I always booked that 2.6 as negative since I did not trade it. Still I had the cash and not anymore. I sent it to Evemonkey with the instructions to forward it to the ship reimbursement fund of his alliance. They are at war with NC. and I want those "mates" to disappear!

- Joining a wardeccable player corporation: why on Earth you'd do that if you plan to live in highsec? If you don't live in highsec, then go and make a highsec alt who does the hauling for you.
- Autopiloting/AFK/botting with valuable cargo/ship: no comment. Even a 5 years old should be smarter than that.
- Untanked expensive mining or industrial ships: if a destroyer that the newbies get for free for their career agent mission can kill you, you are doing it wrong. Mining and industrial ships are known targets, put on tank. If the cargo worth N Tornados, you should have enough tank to survive N/2 Tornados.
