Crime rate set to double after extent of online offences is laid bare | UK news | The Guardian: "The ONS says one in 10 adults have been victims of cybercrime in the past year. The chance of being a victim is the same regardless of social class or whether someone lives in a deprived or affluent, urban or rural area.
The 5.8m offences were made up of 3.8m fraud offences, including 2.5m incidents of bank and credit card fraud, and 2m computer misuse offences, including 1.4m virus attacks.
The remaining 600,000 estimated offences related to unauthorised access to personal information, such as hacking of email, social media or other online accounts.
The latest overall figures, excluding online crime, in the 12 months to March 2015 show there were an estimated 6.3m offences – 6% fewer than in the previous year." 'via Blog this'
