Alarming increase in scams targeting Finns: Survey highlights gaps in data security preparedness

A recent survey by DNA, titled "Digital Life 2024," reveals a troubling trend among Finns regarding their preparedness against data security threats. The survey, which gathered responses from over 1,000 participants, found that only 54% feel adequately informed about data security issues. This lack of awareness is particularly concerning as cyber threats continue to evolve.

Heidi Havastila, a data security service specialist at DNA, emphasizes the growing sophistication of scams, which are increasingly targeting individuals rather than devices.
