An overwhelming majority of Canadians reported that they wouldn’t know what actions to take if their identity were stolen in a data breach, according to new research from dragonfly id.
Partnering with ThinkHatch and Haven Insights, dragonfly id surveyed 425 Canadians over the course of four days in early March 2018. The goal of the survey was to understand how much Canadians know about the steps they should take to retrieve data in the aftermath of an identity breach.
Results showed that 83% of respondents don’t know what to do to restore their identities.
