The topic is what the Government survey claim, but I dont know of anyone who fears the net as they suggest.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/5414696.stmThe Get Safe Online study released by the government found 21% of respondents felt most at risk from net crime, while 16% worried most about being burgled.
A BBC investigation into net-based attacks on Windows PCs found they could happen as much as every 15 minutes.
At least every hour, an unprotected PC set up as a honeypot logged a malicious attack that could render it unusable or make it access other machines.
Similar so-called "honeypot" computers have become indispensable to computer security experts monitoring online crime in recent years.
The government's study also found fears of online crime ran so deep some people were being put off using the internet altogether.
But Get Safe Online campaign boss Tony Neate said people only needed to take simple steps to avoid almost all types of net dangers.
"There are some problems out there," he said, "but simple, easy precautions mean you can be really safe."
The survey was released as the Get Safe Online campaign gets a re-launch and embarks on a national tour that aims to tell people about good web browsing habits.
I dont think its helpful to claim attacks are happening every 15 minutes using old software that should be patched as most users are automatically, at least allow users to know your test is flawed before announcing in big headlines about threats to users :roll:
