Get Safe Online week starts today in the UK.  The key theme this year is phishing – and how to reduce the chances of getting caught.

National Stats reveal that

• Younger people are more likely to be victims of phishing than older people:
  • 11 per cent of 18-24 year olds have been a victim of phishing
  • 5 per cent of 55+ year olds have been a victim of phishing
• This is despite the fact that older people are more likely to be targeted:
  • 36 per cent of 18-24 year olds have been targeted by phishing, but have not fallen victim to it
  • 47 per cent of 55+ year olds have been targeted by phishing, but have not fallen victim to it
• This indicates younger people are less savvy when it comes to phishing than older people
