Study Finds Disconnect Between Young People and AntiVirus Protection

Wednesday, April 21, 2010 at 6:52AM |

A new study finds that while the vast majority of young people know about online security risks, they aren’t doing much to protect themselves. According to the RSA-sponsored study, 73% of young adults between 18 and 27 are informed about online security risks, and yet 71% say they’re not particularly “careful about policing their financial data, social networking accounts, and other passwords,” Newsweek reports on its Techtonic Shifts blog.

The blog reports:

“The irony is that the most tech-savvy generation is the one playing Russian roulette—the one that knows the risk, but still does the risky behavior," says Sam Curry, chief technology officer at RSA, the IT security firm that sponsored the survey.

The post also calls attention to some other alarming statistics:

Nine out of 10 respondents say they're linked to people they either don't know or don't know well on sites like Facebook and LinkedIn.
Three quarters fear identity theft, but 57% don’t use services to prevent this, mostly because of the cost. A staggering 64% say they've already had their identity stolen, been hacked, or lost credit cards or sensitive data.
56% don't log out of accounts on their computers because it's just too much hassle to sign back in.

What many people don’t realize is, when they put their computers at risk they are also making their entire network of family and friends more vulnerable. Think for a moment about all the people you know who might not use AntiVirus protection, yet still engage with strangers on Facebook or don’t log off shared computers.

It’s a discouraging thought, but accessible solutions exist. Immunet is a free AntiVirus product that specifically protects its users against malware on social networks like Facebook and Twitter. Since it’s free (and simple) to download, it’s an excellent solution for young people wary of pricey, cumbersome AntiVirus programs. If you know someone who could benefit from Immunet, pass along this post or send them information on downloading Immunet. After all, making your online community more secure, makes your PC more secure.
