Computer Users
According to Cyberatlas.com the current world Internet population is between 446 million users (eMarketer) and 533 million users (Computer Industry Almanac). Approximately 8.7 million of those users reside in the state of Florida (numbers taken from the U.S. census board and the Progressive Policy Institute). This means that more than 8 million Internet users in the state of Florida are probably vulnerable to Internet threats .
Digital Marketing Services (DMS) released survey results in August of 2002 that showed that 94% of Internet users are still vulnerable to Internet security risks. These risks include everything from computer viruses to poor firewall protection.
Only 12% of survey respondents have a response plan for dealing with security problems on their home PC. |
