The Norton Cybersecurity Insights Report examines consumers online behaviors, attitudes and security habits alongside the dangers and financial cost of cybercrime. A truly global take on online crime and the emotional toll it takes on consumers, the report surveyed 17,125 adult mobile device users across 17 countries.
The report found that globally 62 percent of consumers believe it’s more likely their credit card information will be stolen online compared to only 38 percent who think it’s more likely they will lose credit card information from their wallets. Additionally, 47 percent reported they have been affected by cybercrime.
In the U.S.:
- Seven in 10 Americans believe using public Wi-Fi is riskier than using a public restroom
- Just over half of consumers think that storing their credit card and banking information in the cloud is riskier than not wearing a seatbelt
- More than half of parents believe online bullying is more likely than physical bullying at school
