Cyber Security Survey reveals darknet use higher among 18-24 year olds

(University of Kent) The survey, now in its third year, also revealed that at least 4 percent of British adults have been victims of ransomware, where their computer has had malware installed, which encrypts their data and then faced demands for a payment to restore it back to normal. Of those polled, 26 percent paid the ransom -- though even after they complied with the criminals' demands, 35 percent of them never recovered their data.
