In 2014, more than 348 million identities were exposed due to identity thefts. Even with this unpleasant disclosure in the news daily, many people fail to take the necessary actions required to protect their personal information.
The Norton Cybersecurity Insights Report covers a survey of 17,125 adult mobile device users across 17 countries, and gives a global take on online crime and the emotional toll it takes on consumers. The report found that 62 percent of consumers worldwide believe that it is more likely that their credit card information will be stolen online, while 30 percent think it’s more likely to lose their credit card from their wallets. Of those surveyed, 47 percent reported being victims of cybercrime.
