Norton CyberCrime Report Sharing @ Alexis Gardens [GIVEAWAY]

Norton Cybercrime Report 2011 - Exposing the True Scale

Thanks Norton for the invitation to this sharing session @ Alexis Kitchen Bar (Gardens) as I was able to get in touch with Norton products again after so long. Yes, I was there to check out if there is any improvement and I can ask questions personally~!

"For the first time a Norton study calculates the cost of global cybercrime: US$114 billion annually. Based on the value victims surveyed placed on time lost due to their cybercrime experiences, an additional US$274 billion was lost. With 431 million adult victims globally in the past year and at an annual price of US$388 billion globally based on financial losses and time lost, cybercrime costs the world significantly more than the global black market in marijuana, cocaine and heroin combined (US$288 billion).

According to the Norton Cybercrime Report 2011 more than two thirds of online adults (69 percent) have been a victim of cybercrime in their lifetime. Every second 14 adults become a victim of cybercrime, resulting in more than one million cybercrime victims every day. For the first time, the Norton Cybercrime Report reveals that 10 percent of adults online have experienced cybercrime on their mobile phone. In fact, the Symantec Internet Security Threat Report, Volume 16 reported there were 42 percent more mobile vulnerabilities in 2010 compared to 2009 – a sign that cybercriminals are starting to focus their efforts on the mobile space. The number of reported new mobile operating system vulnerabilities increased, from 115 in 2009 to 163 in 2010. In addition to threats on mobile devices, increased social networking and a lack of protection are likely to be some of the main culprits behind the growing number of cybercrime victims."

Friends who attended the sharing session and I somehow snapped their photo since they sit opposite of me.

1 Million plus cybercrime victims a day
Remember the Maybank Fraud Email that you keep receiving in your spambox?



Interesting fact on how men and woman use the internet
"Nearly four times as many men vs women view adult content online"

The disconnect between awareness and action is further illustrated by the fact that while 74 percent of respondents say they are always aware of cybercrime, many are not taking the necessary precautions. Forty-one percent of adults indicated they don’t have an up to date security software suite to protect their personal information online. In addition, less than half review credit card statements regularly for fraud (47 percent), and 61 percent don’t use complex passwords or change them regularly. Among those who access the Internet via their mobile phone, only 16 percent install the most up to date mobile security.
