4 in 10 Indians have experienced identity theft: Report

Pune: NortonLifeLock today released findings from its annual Cyber Safety Insights Report which showed that nearly 4 in 10 respondents in India (39 percent ) have experienced identity theft, with 10 percent impacted in the past year alone.

It also found that while 61 percent of respondents feel well-protected against ID theft but 63 percent would have no idea what to do in case of an identity theft, and more than three-quarters (79 percent ) wish they had more information on what to do if it were to happen.

The research was conducted online by The Harris Poll on behalf of NortonLifeLock among 10,063 adults (aged 18+) in 10 countries, including India.
