24% of Americans No Longer Buy Online Because of Breaches
A USA TODAY survey finds that almost a quarter of Americans have at least temporarily stopped buying online because of security concerns.
A full 24% of those surveyed said they had stopped buying anything online in recent weeks because they were concerned about the safety of information they might put online, according to poll. More than 55% said they had cut back on the number of Internet sites they used and were only going to large, well-known companies they were confident were safe, said USA TODAY.
