| NOTAS: | Survey requested by the European Commission, Directorate-General for Migration and Home Affairs and co-ordinated by the Directorate-General for Communication.
Special Eurobarometer 390: "The aim of this Eurobarometer survey is to understand EU citizens' experiences and perceptions of cyber security issues. The survey examines the frequency and type of internet use that EU citizens have; their confidence about internet transactions; their awareness and experience of cybercrimes; and the level of concern for such crime."
Special Eurobarometer 404: "A new Eurobarometer survey shows that Internet users remain very concerned about cyber security: Almost nine out of ten avoid disclosing personal information online and 76% agree that the risk of becoming a victim of cybercrime has increased in the past year. This Eurobarometer, covering over 27 000 people in all EU member states, follows a previous survey from 2012 (Special Eurobarometer 390)."
Special Eurobarometer 423: "As the online part of our lives is increasing, through the use of home banking or shopping online, so is organised crime in the cyber environment. Today, for instance, cybercriminals steal bank and credit card details to sell onwards for as little as €1 per card or €60 per bank credentials. Cybercrime is a profitable activity that traverses borders, but involves little risk. It is a problem that affects all of us and that we need to tackle together (more information on the fight against cybercrime in the EU can be found here). The aim of this Eurobarometer is to understand EU citizens’ experiences and perceptions of cyber security issues. The survey examines the nature and frequency of Internet usage; their awareness and experience of cybercrime; and the level of concern that they feel about this type of crime. This survey, covering over 27 000 people in all EU member states, follows a previous survey from 2013 (Special Eurobarometer 404)."
Special Eurobarometer 464a: "Europeans' attitudes towards cyber security: this report brings together the results of the Special Eurobarometer public opinion survey towards cyber security in the 28 European Union countries. Cybercrime is a borderless problem, consisting of criminal acts that are committed online by using electronic communications networks and information systems. The main types of crimes that are committed in this way include attacks on information systems that can hinder or disable their functioning, forms of online fraud and forgery such as identity theft and malicious code, and the dissemination of illegal online content such as child pornography. This report focuses on cyber security itself. First, this section identifies patterns and trends in the frequency of Internet use, the means by which respondents access the Internet, and the kinds of activities that the Internet is commonly used for. Second, it examines the concerns of respondents about the security of Internet transactions, and the impact these concerns are having on respondents’ behaviour. Third, it analyses respondents’ awareness and experiences of cybercrime, looking at the extent to which people are concerned about being the victims of cybercrime and the extent to which they have already experienced this."
Special Eurobarometer 480: "Cybercrime is a borderless problem, consisting of criminal acts that are committed online by using electronic communications networks and information systems. The main types of crimes that are committed in this way include attacks on information systems that can hinder or disable their functioning, forms of online fraud and forgery such as identity theft and spreading of malicious code, and the dissemination of illegal online content such as child pornography. The new Eurobarometer report on Internet security and cybercrime shows that Europeans are increasingly concerned about cybercrime, with 79% of them believing that the risk of becoming a victim of cybercrime is greater than in the past. This survey was carried out by TNS Political & Social network in the 28 Member States of the European Union (EU) between 24th October and 7th November 2018." |
