CYBER THREATS HUGELY UNDERESTIMATED BY OVER A THIRD OF BRITS
Significantly more Brits ( 60 per cent ) believe they are more likely to fall victim to a physical home break-in than those fearing a digital crime ( 37 per cent ), according to new research from BT . This is despite the fact that , on average , people aged 16-44 years are now almost as likely to suffer a digital crime ( 15 per cent ) as a home break-in ( 17 per cent ).
The research has revealed that just over a third of Brits ( 34 per cent ) do not consider poor digital security as being a risk to their home .
And despite calls for greater awareness of cybercrime , only 10 per cent of people think their Wi-Fi or smartphones could be the most likely source of a crime , compared to 51 per cent who believe their front doors , windows or back door are more likely to be targeted .
Worryingly , UK citizens are failing to take advantage of the free security solutions
made available to them by their phone and broadband providers .
Only a third of parents and guardians ( 36 per cent ) take advantage of parental control technology to manage web access . This is despite the fact that almost half ( 49 per cent ) of parents are concerned about their children falling victim to cybercrime and 39 per cent admitting that their child has accidentally seen inappropriate content online .
Commander Chris Greany , City of London Police and national coordinator for economic crime , said , ‘ The Crime Survey of England and Wales showed that people are much more likely to be a victim of digital crimes in the UK , with almost half of all crime now either fraud or cybercrime . Just as people protect their home from burglary so they also need to protect their digital presence . Many broadband and telephone providers now offer free security solutions and we strongly encourage everyone to take advantage of these , to ensure they are protected against the less visible dangers online and over the phone .’
