Symantec: 65% of adults worldwide have been a victim of cybercrime

Another report from a security vendor, wait.. they are using a independent market research firm. You can find the report in the following link

I think the report is well structured and the information could be easily used by a sales team. As always it should be more focused on awareness than making people scared.


I like to comment on the following:
It’s sad but true that nearly nine in 10 adults (86%) are thinking about cybercrime and over a
quarter (28%) actually expect to be scammed or defrauded online. Only a tiny minority (3%) think cybercrime won’t happen to them.


I am more afraid of the 3% than the rest.

What we need, and we urgently need in Portugal, is a security awareness program where people would say "I know it exists, I think about it, and I do my best to minimize the probability of being a victim of cybercrime".
