LONDON (Reuters) – One in 10 Internet users fell victim to online fraud last year, losing an average of 875 pounds each, according to a survey on Monday.

Many failed to take basic steps to protect themselves online and fewer than half felt they were wholly responsible for their safety while using the Internet.

Six percent had suffered fraud while shopping online, four percent had experienced general fraud and three percent were subject to bank or credit card crime.

The survey of 2,400 people was carried out by YouGov for Get Safe Online, a campaign group set up by the government, police and private companies.

Putting the right processes in place for your internet application/application is part of the due diligence process, ensuring that with the right use the application is as secure as possible in the real world. 

How your userbase responds to application security is always going to be a challenge, limiting your liability, your exposure and reminding the user about passwords, account names etc, is a cost of doing business.

Try out the test and see how safe you are with your online lifestyle/applications.
