Internet users ignorant about data privacy
Juan Carlos Perez writes in InfoWorld:
Internet users in the United States are dangerously ignorant about the type of data that Website owners collect from them and how that data is used, making them vulnerable to fraud and misuse of their personal information, a new study [.pdf] finds.
For the study, titled "Open to Exploitation: American Shoppers Online and Offline," 1,500 adult U.S. Internet users were asked true-or-false questions about topics such as website privacy policies. The survey was conducted by the University of Pennsylvania's Annenberg Public Policy Center and released last month.
