Report Summary:
As communities and workplaces go remote to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, IDX released new research on Online and Data Privacy Threats Due to COVID-19. We conducted interviews online at the beginning of April 2020 with a national sample of 1,006 adults who represent a diverse pool of gender, age and education. We found that not only are more Americans conducting life online than ever before but many have signed up for new tools and platforms to work, study or play. Concerningly, most consumers fail to take adequate precautions to avoid falling prey to the scams that they reportedly fear. Finally, consumers indicated a range of reactions to the government’s use of mobile location data to track COVID-19 containment measures.
