NOTAS: | Survey conducted by Ipsos European Public Affairs at the request of the European Commission, Directorate-General for Migration and Home Affairs "In 2021, 28% of European SMEs have experience at least one type of cybercrime. SMEs are very concerned about the risk of hacking online bank accounts (32%) and phishing, account takeover or impersonation attacks (31%), and viruses and spyware or malware (29%). This Eurobarometer survey conducted on the phone addresses the impact of cybercrime on small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs). Key topics covered by the survey include: the extent to which SMEs’ staff are aware about cybercrime risks; the level of concern about cybercrime among SMEs; experiences of SMEs with cybercrime over the last 12 months and SMEs’ preferred channels for reporting cybercrime. The COVID-19 crisis led to an increased digital transformation for small and medium sized enterprises and at the same to a higher exposure to cybercriminal activities." |
