UK Report: Users Shun Responsibility for Online Security
Fiona Raisbeck writes on SC Magazine Online:
More than half (52 per cent) of all the UK's internet users believe they are not responsible for their own online security, latest figures show.More here.
One in six of the 2,441 respondents said that they feel that their bank is wholly accountable for their internet protection, whilst 13 per cent argue that it is up to their internet service provider, according to the latest Get Safe Online report.
The government backed initiative also found that more than one in ten (12 per cent) of the people surveyed have experienced some form of internet fraud over the past year – at an average loss of £875 each.
In the same period, six per cent of all internet users suffered fraud while shopping online and four per cent were subject to bank account or credit card fraud as a result of online activity.
