In light of the report by the House of Lords Science and Technology Committee, into the security of the Internet, Cristina Hoole, Spokesperson for PayPal, comments about the importance of being safe online:
“The security of people who use the Internet and shop online must become a top priority, not just for the Government but also software vendors, if the ongoing threat of e-crime is to be culled. Continued proactive action needs to be taken so that people in the UK are not put at risk. At present more than 27.4 million people in the UK have received a phishing email at some point, with 18.1 million people receiving an email that has purported to have come from their bank. These are worrying statistics, especially if anyone has been tricked into responding to them.
