  • This report brings together the results of the Special Eurobarometer public opinion survey towards cyber security in the 28 European Union countries. Cybercrime is a borderless problem, consisting of criminal acts that are committed online by using electronic communications networks and information systems. The main types of crimes that are committed in this way include attacks on information systems that can hinder or disable their functioning, forms of online fraud and forgery such as identity theft and malicious code, and the dissemination of illegal online content such as child pornography. Cybercrime is estimated to cause the loss of billions of euros per year, and is placing an increasing strain on law enforcement response capability. With rising use of the Internet, the proliferation of different kinds of Internet-enabled devices, and an increasing amount of personal data being transmitted online, the problem of cybercrime will only get worse unless concerted steps are taken by the authorities to eradicate it. In response to this mounting problem, the European Commission has designed a coordinated policy in close co-operation with European Union (EU) Member States and the other EU institutions. EU legislative actions contributing to the fight against cybercrime address issues such as attacks against information systems, online offensive material and child pornography, online privacy, and online fraud and counterfeiting. The aim of this survey is to understand EU citizensÂ’ awareness, experiences and perceptions of cyber security issues. This report focuses on cyber security itself. First, this section identifies patterns and trends in the frequency of Internet use, the means by which respondents access the Internet, and the kinds of activities that the Internet is commonly used for. Second, it examines the concerns of respondents about the security of Internet transactions, and the impact these concerns are having on respondentsÂ’ behaviour. Third, it analyses respondentsÂ’ awareness and experiences of cybercrime, looking at the extent to which people are concerned about being the victims of cybercrime and the extent to which they have already experienced this. This section is based on and refers to the results of two previous surveys: Special Eurobarometer 404 on "Cyber Security" (May-June 2013) and Special Barometer 423 on "Cyber Security" (October 2014).
