More than 26% of Americans are stolen financial or personal information

According to a recent poll conducted by the Gallup Institute, more than a quarter of Americans said they had stolen financial information and personal information stored on computer networks.

The survey was conducted with more than 3,000 Americans aged 18 and over, according to the order of Credit Assessment Firm Experian, based in California, USA. Results showed that about 19% of computer users complained that their financial information, including account numbers or credit card numbers, was violated; while 14% said they had stolen personal data such as social security card numbers or identification numbers.

The survey also found that American students who still receive an annual allowance of about $ 75,000 from their families are the first "target" of hackers.

Ty Taylor, a member of the Board of Experian, said there are many measures to protect personal information, such as splitting accounts, not sending personal or financial data to an unknown source. and protect the drives that store information.
