Many internet users are not forced to think about cybercrime until they become the victims of one, according to Dan Nadir, senior director of consumer products at Norton, an internet security specialist.
"People tend not to think about cybercrime until they've become a victim of it themselves," he said.??Mr Nadir pointed to official statistics which have shown how much internet users affected by cybercrime are "likely to be conservative".
??"Many people do not know who to turn to in the event of a cyber attack, which means it is usually left unreported," he said.??His comments emerged as Ed Vaizey, communications minister, said that it is shocking "how few of us know how to make ourselves more secure online".
??His remarks were made at a CBI (Confederation of British Industry) forum on eprivacy and the digital economy late last month.??Separately, Norton recently launched its new Cybercrime Index in London to help fight the cost of cybercrime to the UK economy.??
