More than 4 in 10 users will change their digital lives in 2020, creating new digital expectations for the new year. According to a recent survey by Kaspersky, most people aim to reduce the amount of time they spend on their various gadgets on a daily basis.

The last year has been difficult for our personal data. Password theft were up to 60% more than in 2018, login abuses were also on the rise – while at the same time those for online porn and websites increased by more than 100%.

This shows that digital detoxification is still on the rise. A quarter of respondents (25%) chose to make more backups and clean their desktop on a regular basis, while 11,2% want to delete friends from Facebook with whom they have never met up close.
