Despite the concentration on Cybersecurity, Americans feel
\ntheir personal information is safer online than it was a few years ago.
\nAccording to the Unisys
\nSecurity Index<\/a>, Americans attitudes toward online security are at an all
\ntime low since 2007. Despite the recent
\ninternational threats and massive data breaches over the past few years,
\nconsumers seem to feel fairly untouched by the lack Cybersecurity. The
\nimportant thing to remember is that just because less feel threaten by online
\nfraud, doesnt mean that the risks are any less. While Cybersecurity awareness
\ncampaigns have helped consumers become more educated about preventative measures;
\nthey may have also created a false sense of protection. While knowing the risks, creating stronger
\npasswords, and being mindful of the site you share your information with may
\nhelp prevent
\nfraud<\/a>, it does make you exempt from it.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Another important aspect to remember is that consumer
\nperception is not always the best indicator of online fraud progression. Companies
\nare far more responsible for knowing the risks of online fraud. Business owners
\nmay not think their role is more important, but they have much more to lose
\nthan a single consumer. Often times if someone experience personal identity
\ntheft or online fraud, it is much easier to salvage than if an entire companys
\ndatabase is compromised. Many companies outside the obvious industries, like
\npayments and banking, are starting to take online fraud
\nprevention<\/a> much more seriously as they realize that the risks are high.
\nSocial media platforms such as Twitter<\/a>,
\nand most recently LinkedIn, are taking precautions against identity theft by
\nimplementing two-factor
\nverification<\/a>. While this is temporary fix for many sites, its only a
\nmatter of time before this solution will not be enough to prevent online fraud.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
