Cyber report: Consumers would avoid hack victims

The extent to which Irish consumers fear their data being breached has been laid bare in a new report which shows 50% would never shop with a business if their bank details were compromised in a cyber attack.

Not only would half of consumers not shop online again with a business that has been compromised in such a way, they would also stop visiting their stores.

More than three quarters of those surveyed feel businesses should be held responsible for the security of user data and personal information.
