Re: Online fraud on the up
Quote:One in four does not check whether a Web site is safe and secure ...but 3 out of 4 do check for either the padlack icon in their browser or a secure seal (i.e. GeoTrust, Verisign) on the site. I've often wondred what percentage of that 3 out of 4 will hit the back button when they come to a site without a padlock icon even if the site is using a secure payment method like PayPal because they think the lack of a padlock icon means their payment won't be secure (umm, let me rephrase that: PayPal is secure when you're making the payment, but once you pay you have to pray that PayPal doesn't start playing around with the money ). Many people are unfamiliar with Paypal and other online payments and probably don't know it is secure. Quote: And half of 16- to 24-year-olds in the UK do not know what phishing is.. That one is shocking That is the one age group where I thought almost everyone would be aware of phishing.
