Special Eurobarometer 423: Cyber security

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).

The results by volumes are distributed as follows:

• Volume A: Countries
• Volume AA: Groups of countries
• Volume A' (AP): Trends
• Volume AA' (AAP): Trends of groups of countries
• Volume B: EU/socio-demographics
• Volume B' (BP) : Trends of EU/ socio-demographics
• Volume C: Country/socio-demographics
