Crime through the use of the Internet costs $114 billion a year annually, according to the company's Cybercrime Report 16, and if you take into account the time lost by victims, the figure rises to $338 billion.
This means that the present amount exceeds the combined market for marijuana, cocaine and heroin that has a figure that amounts to 288,000 million dollars.
The study by the computer security company indicates that men between the ages of 18 and 31 who access the Internet from their phones are more likely to become victims.
Despite the report that also reveals that 10% of adults have ever experienced a cybercrime on their mobile phone, it reported that the necessary measures are not taken such as not updating the antivirus, not checking bank statements or not using complex passwords and changing them periodically.
