Description 1 online resource (19 pages) : illustrations Summary As the pace and magnitude of cyberattacks have increased around the world, a new survey shows that people in multiple countries think it is likely that government data, public infrastructure and elections will be targeted by future hacks. Opinion is mixed, however, on whether their nations are prepared for such events. Across the 26 countries surveyed by Pew Research Center, nearly half (47%) say their country is well prepared to handle a major cyberattack, but an equal share disagrees. Attitudes vary widely by country. Two-thirds or more in Israel (73%) and Russia (67%), for example, say their nations are ready for a major cyber incident, while fewer than one-in-five Brazilians (16%) and Argentines (9%) say the same. In the United States, just over half of Americans (53%) think their country is prepared to handle a major cyberattack Notes "For release January 9, 2019"--Cover Online resource; title from PDF cover page (Pew, viewed January 13, 2019) Subject Cyberterrorism -- Prevention -- Public opinion Cyberspace operations (Military science) Cyberinfrastructure -- Security measures -- Public opinion Internet -- Security measures -- Public opinion Computer networks -- Security measures -- Public opinion Cyberspace operations (Military science) Form Electronic book Author Fetterolf, Janell, author Pew Research Center, publisher.
