Privacy is a big issue. While we’ve come to accept that our privacy is under attack, it’s important to note that the threats do not only come from the “outside” (hackers and cyber crooks). Many Americans are creating their own attacks on privacy through the use of “stalkerware” that is intentionally added to the devices of loved ones and even acquaintances.
To better understand this problem and its psychological impact, Malwarebytes, a cyber protection agency, surveyed 1,000 Americans between the ages of 13 and 77 – questioning them about their worries, their internet activities and the measures they take to stay safe.
