   Data protection will soon become UK consumers number one priority as
   new study reveals that one in five Brits have had personal details
   stolen used as a result of a cyber-security breach.

   Some 21 per cent of people living in the UK had their bank accounts
   used to buy goods and services as results of cyber-security breach,
   according to new research by business advisory firm Deloitte.

   The survey of nearly 1,500 UK customers found that over 70 per cent
   would reconsider using a company if it failed to keep their data safe.

   However, more than half don’t know the exact details of the information
   that has been collected and just 23 per cent believe that companies are
   being transparent about it.

   “The volume and value of data available online means that consumers are
   now more exposed than ever before,” said Simon Browick director in the
   cyber risk services team at Deloitte

   “Many organisations are struggling to prepare themselves to deal with
   the wide range of different cyber-attacks. Cyber security has moved
   beyond simply being an IT issue; it is now a business-wide risk which
   requires immediate attention at the highest level,” he added.

   Since 2013, there has been a significant increase in the number of
   consumers taking action following a security breach. More than 75 per
   of respondents would conduct a security review after a cyber-attack, up
   from 52 per cent in 2013 or reduce their online activity altogether.

   Ben Perkins, head of consumer business research at Deloitte, said:
   “Consumers have been very clear in their message to businesses and
   third party organisations: data security is paramount.

   “At the same time, consumers now have greater awareness of cyber-crime
   and internet fraud and are, perhaps understandably, more distrustful of
   companies looking after their data.
