CITY VIEWS: DOES CYBER CRIME WORRY YOU?
ADIL KHAN | ERNST & YOUNG
“I have been a victim of online fraud and my bank was quite helpful and refunded it, so it’s clearly widespread. The £27bn figure doesn’t surprise me, given the scale of online shopping these days. It’s only going to increase as more is done on the internet.”
VINAY SHRIVASTAVA | ARUP
“I’m concerned but I’m not doing anything drastic about it; I’ll still do a lot of shopping online. Some of my friends have been ripped off online but I still use it for banking. There is a surprising amount of crime online, but a lot is not due to individuals.”

“I’ve had my credit card cloned before, but it wasn’t over the internet – this sort of thing can happen anywhere. Generally speaking, I’m not that concerned, and a lot is being invested in trying to stay ahead of the curve when it comes to fraud.”
