Study from Kaspersky Labs: Digital Consumer’s Online Trends and Risks Modern consumers live a full-scale digital life. Their virtual assets like personal photos and videos, work documents, passwords to access social networking and online banking credentials are of the utmost importance and users are very concerned about safety of such data. We at Kaspersky Lab maintain and expand the leading expertise in IT security risks, malware and vulnerabilities in order to protect consumers in the best possible way.

 

To better understand our customers, their computer and Internet usage patterns and attitudes towards security and the safety of data, we initiated a study into this valuable information.

 

Although users acknowledge the existence of various online threats, a significant share of them are reckless in terms of security.

 

===> Even now 16% of laptop owners, 50% of Macbook users and 65% (!) of smartphone owners do not use any kind of security software on their devices. <===
