美国人没秘密：去年1/7用户个人数据泄露

美国《消费者报告》本周四发布的一项调查显示，去年1/7美国人曾被告知个人数据泄露。此外，62%美国人没有采取任何措施来保护在线隐私。　　

《消费者报告》估计，过去一年，1120万美国人曾遭遇了电子邮件钓鱼欺诈，而29%美国网民的家用计算机感染了恶意软件。市场研究公司GfK受《消费者报告》的委托于今年1月进行了这项研究，并访问了3110名家中拥有互联网接入服务的美国成年人。

近期，信息安全专家正更多地提示在线个人数据的安全风险。在近期的年度威胁评估报告中，赛门铁克表示，2013年是“大规模数据泄露”的一年。2013年，8起事故泄露了至少1000万人的信息。根据赛门铁克的说法，黑客活动导致的问题占2013年数据泄露事故的34%。
