Data Breaches Top Concern for Australians
Seems we are finally raising our concerns around Privacy
The Australian Community Attitude to Privacy survey has unveiled findings from a recent survey. The Office of the Australian Information Commissioner annually conducts this privacy survey to evaluate the behaviours, attitudes, concerns, and awareness regarding privacy in Australia. There has been a notable spike in the number of Australians that view data breaches as the biggest risk they face today. Furthermore, consumers are growing increasingly concerned about the protection and level of control they maintain over their personal information.
Prioritising Personal Information
To support Data Breaches as a top concern for Australians, the findings show there was a clear expectation and demand from Australians for greater protection and control over their personal information. 84% of survey takers specifically wanted more control and choice over their data. Moreover, it was found that many Australians reported having a negative privacy experience. Given the rising occurrences of data breaches and cyber-attacks, it’s understandable why Australians are concerned. While consumers understand the importance of protecting their personal information, it is evident that they do not feel empowered or informed about their privacy rights.
