The summer 2013 survey, carried out by B2B International and Kaspersky Lab, found that most computer users regard the data they have on their machines as more important than the computer itself. 56% regarded their photos and documents are more precious than even expensive hardware. However, in the event of a malware attack, more than 50% of users found they were unable to recover all of their data.

According to the survey, one in five of malicious attacks ended with the loss of personal data. 61% of those users who were attacked were unable to recover all their data. For cybercriminals, personal data is a tradable commodity: they may steal valuable data and use it in further fraudulent schemes. The widespread use of mobile devices has aggravated the situation: each new personal smartphone or tablet gives the fraudsters an additional angle for attack.
Although the scope and number of cyber threats are growing, the personal information can remain safe with the help of a reliable security solution. As a result, Kaspersky has developed a solution named Internet Security Multi-Device, that can protect the devices working on different OS.
Kaspersky Internet Security – Multi-Device – is available for download on Kaspersky Lab official web site.
