Recently, ESET commissioned a poll to identify the knowledge, beliefs and experiences of Americans with respect to cybercrime. One of the findings was that 2 percent of Americans think that PCs are not vulnerable to cybercrime, while 9 percent feel a Mac is not vulnerable to cybercrime. Twenty-nine percent felt that a PC was only somewhat vulnerable to cybercrime attacks, where 42 percent felt a Mac was only somewhat vulnerable to cybercrime attacks. It has been extrapolated from the poll that Americans have lost $11 billion to cybercrime.
