Cyber Crime Survey Finds Lots of Victims, Lots of Guilt

A whopping 73 percent of Internet users in the U.S. surveyed identified themselves as victims of cybercrime. The survey was sponsored by anti malware firm Symantec Corp. It asked identical questions to adults in 14 countries and involved just over 7,000 participants. Just 44 percent of victims said they reported the cybercrime they were a victim of to police. A whopping 80 percent doubted that the perpetrators would be brought to justice, according to the survey. While a majority of those surveyed said they felt somewhat safe online, other recent surveys have revealed increasing hesitance among business leaders.
