"Get Safe Online research reveals people fear online crime more than mugging or burglary. Fear of internet crime is on the increase, according to Get Safe Online’s second annual report[1]. At the start of Get Safe Online Week, the report, which was released today, reveals 21% of people think e-crime is the type of crime they are most likely to encounter, up from 17% last year, and they fear it more than mugging, car theft and burglary. The new research from www.getsafeonline.org suggests growing fear of internet crime is deterring the public from using the internet for everyday activities." [Cybercrime; SOCA]
