The survey also found out that 50% of the respondents have been exposed to a scamming attack in the last year at their work but only 23% said that their company took measures for cyber security training for their employees. 20% reported that their personal accounts got hacked in a cyber attack attempt, which included their banking as well as email accounts.
As a result of those cyber attacks, 22% lost their money and 30% said that they don't think their personal accounts can ever be safe after that. A lot of respondents also got their personal passwords hacked or exposed (50%). 44% got their social media passwords hacked or exposed.
The reason why a lot of hacking attempts are successful is because many people believe that putting a username and password on your account can make it safe (39%). People tend to reuse these passwords which make them vulnerable to cyber attacks. 20% of the respondents reported that their company doesn't update technology frequently and only does it when it's needed. 70% say that they take extreme measures to protect information at work as compared to 63% who protect their personal information more. This is the reason why 24% of respondents always worry about someone hacking their personal account and information.
