The study reveals that one in nine Germans was affected by internet crime at least once in the past year. Despite the increasing threat, many people do not adequately protect themselves, indicating a lack of awareness of online risks. Experts therefore recommend a stronger focus on security measures and increasing awareness of potential dangers.
