Amid ongoing identity theft and privacy-related breaches, new research published by cybersecurity company, BullGuard, revealed substantial gaps between consumers’ privacy concerns and their actual behaviours.
The study shows 53% of Americans, 48% of Brits and 62% of Germans are concerned about privacy, but 74% of Americans, 80% of Brits, and 86% of Germans don’t use a VPN (Virtual Private Network) when accessing public Wi-Fi, with convenience trumping privacy and security risks in their rush to get online.
