It has been proven that half of the adults from USA have given up online shopping because they are too scared of hackers finding out their private information.

Cyber Security Industry Alliance has discovered that almost 71% of one study's respondents said they wish that a new online security legislation is enforced.

64% of the respondents blamed the American government for the lack of response and the indifference with which they have treated the online frauds from the last time.

Reuters announces that the American Congress is discussing some measures which can be applied to increase the security of the companies' data.

The recently published study was carried out with the help of 1,003 respondents and had an error margin under 3%.
