Kaspersky Lab survey finds online account theft the most feared cyberthreat among users

Kaspersky Lab and B2B International have conducted a survey to find out which cyberthreats Internet users are aware of and which they fear the most. It turns out that theft of online accounts is the biggest concern for users.

Hacking of accounts and malware designed to steal passwords and confidential information were cited as the biggest concerns, with approximately the same number worried about these two threats (both 68%).

Financial threats came third with 63% concerned about possibly losing money from an account, followed by phishing emails and websites. Yet another threat targeting account credentials landed in fourth place.

Threats designed to steal credentials were also among those that users are most familiar with. 86% of respondents are aware of account hacking, phishing and malware that intercepts passwords. This shows that the best known and most worrying online threat for users is the theft of their digital identity.

The threats that worry users the least are DDoS attacks and global espionage campaigns. This may be because these types of cyberattacks primarily target companies and rarely threaten ordinary users.
