65% of Internet Users Fall Victim to Cybercrime

Coinciding with the release of Norton AntiVirus 2011 and Norton Internet Security 2011, Symantec has published "The Norton Cybercrime Report: The Human Impact."

It claims that 65% of the world's internet users have already fallen victim to cybercrimes (including computer viruses, online credit card fraud and identity theft). The top four countries to fall victim were: 83% in China,
76% Brazil and India and 73% in the USA.

Though it appears that this crimewave can't be attributed to complacency: only 3% of web users don’t think that it will happen to them. But a pessimistic 80% do not expect cybercriminals to be brought to justice.


It's interesting to see
web user's emotions following a cybercrime taking place. Victims’ strongest reactions are feeling angry (58%), annoyed (51%) and cheated (40%).
