2020: 1 in 2 will change his online habits

More than 4 in 10 users will change their digital lives in 2020, creating new digital expectations for the new year. According to recent research by , the majority of people aim to reduce the time spent on their various gadgets every day.

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

This has created in more than half of the users of the Internet (56%) the feeling that a complete privacy in the modern digital world is impossible, and in one in three (32,3%) an uncertainty about how they can fully protect their privacy on the Internet. Not surprisingly, the findings of a new survey conducted by Kaspersky, according to which 42,3% of users confirmed that for the new year they will try to improve their digital life despite their traditional daily life with actions such as "loss weight or pay more attention to their health ”.

The research revealed that there are many areas that people wish to improve – such as reducing the time they spend in front of the screen (29,1%), or not falling asleep with τους δίπλα στο μαξιλάρι τους (18,3%). Αυτό δείχνει ότι η ψηφιακή αποτοξίνωση είναι ακόμα σε άνοδο. Το ένα τέταρτο των ερωτηθέντων (25%) επέλεξε να δημιουργεί περισσότερα αντίγραφα ασφαλείας και να καθαρίζει την επιφάνεια εργασίας του σε τακτική , while 11,2% want to delete Facebook friends with whom they have never met in person. It appears that a rising trend for 2020 is investing in cyber knowledge.

David Emm, Kaspersky Principal Security Researcher, advises the following on how to improve your digital life in 2020: “Our goal at Kaspersky is to protect users from all kinds of online threats they may face and to help people make the most of their digital lives, free from the fear of cyber threats.
