Identity Theft the Biggest Cyber Security Threat in India, 2.7 Crore Affected in 2020: Norton

News 18  

Indians are among the most targeted user groups in the world in terms of cyber threats, and the Norton Cyber Safety Insights report, 2021, has further elucidated exactly how. While this may not be a big surprise, the numbers are far more emphatic when put in context – Norton claims as per its survey that 45 percent of adult Indian internet users faced identity threat in 2020, up almost 40 percent since 2019 to count at 2.7 crore – over 2 percent of India’s entire population. Furthermore, an even bigger count – 59 percent of all adult Indian internet users, seemingly faced cyber crime in one way or the other through 2020. The report also underlines the impact that remote work has had on cyber security – Norton claims a number of 70 percent of all adult users – which was projected in the initial months of the Covid-19 pandemic as a side-effect of users living without the layer of enterprise grade security. The present cyber security climate is not breaking news – headlines have regularly been captured by all-invasive malware that take over devices end to end, installing backdoors at root levels in cases of advanced spyware.
