Abstract
The aim of this research was to examine how Dutch citizens behave online and to explain their online behavior. The results of an experimental survey (N=2,426) show that unsafe behavior is highly prevalent. For example, nearly 40% of the respondents use a weak password. However, it appears that there are major differences between self-reported behavior and objective behavior. The objective measurements in the survey show that people behave more unsafely than they self-report. The research further shows that there is no silver bullet for promoting more safe online behavior. Different online behaviors seem to stem from different sources. Nevertheless, the authors do see a lot of value in interventions that focus on adaptations to the technology that people use for online activities, such that the possibility of unsafe behavior is reduced and the possibility of safe behavior is increased – also known as security by design. There is a role here for policy measures encouraging technology manufacturers to make these adjustments.
In 2018 gaf 8,5% van de internetgebruikers van 12 jaar of ouder aan in de afgelopen twaalf maanden slachtoffer te zijn geweest van online criminaliteit (CBS 2019). In totaal zijn dat jaar 1,2 miljoen Nederlanders slachtoffer geworden van online criminaliteit. Zo werd 2,9% van de Nederlanders slachtoffer van fraude met online handel en 1% slachtoffer van identiteitsdiefstal (CBS 2019). Recente studies laten zien dat de impact van slachtofferschap van dergelijke delicten hoog kan zijn en dat slachtoffers naast financiële schade diverse vormen van psychologische en emotionele schade ervaren.
