One
in Seven Have Had Personal Information Stolen
A new IBM survey finds that roughly 14% of Americans
have had personal information or credit card information stolen,
and nearly 20% of these consumers say it will make them less
likely to do holiday shopping online.
Sixty-one
percent say they are concerned for the safety of their information
during the holiday shopping season. About two-thirds said they
are more concerned about credit card fraud and identity theft
than they were a year ago.
The
survey included interviews with 1000 respondents age 18 or older.
