Nearly two-thirds of UK consumers would stop using a website hit by a breach, but nearly a quarter would not, a survey shows
Most UK consumers would stop using a website after it suffered a data breach, a study has revealed.
While 64% of online users would immediately stop using a bank or retailer if the site suffered a security attack or data breach, nearly a quarter would continue using the site, according to a survey commissioned by information security and risk management firm NTT Com Security.
The poll of more than 500 UK consumers explores consumer trust in online sites, including retailers, banks, social networks and dating sites. The survey comes in the wake of a number of major security breaches and ahead of one of the biggest online shopping periods.
