Sorry if I sound harsh but the bottom line is the internet has never been secure. If you put ANY information on it than your taking a risk and it's a risk you chose to take. What are these other methods of cyber theft that you're talking about? Anything involving a credit card is typically discovered and dealt with within days. Identity theft? Don't put your information on untrustworthy sites. Keyloggers and virus's? There is an abundance of free software that easily combats this problem. In a world as fucked up as we live in I find it hard to feel sorry for the people who run into problems because they did something stupid on the internet. Use a little caution and there is almost no chance of being a victim of cyber theft. That can't be said for any of the other crimes in the poll.
Which of these crimes bothers you the most?
