調查:87%受訪港人於多個網站重用相同密碼
Google香港委託市場研究機構YouGov在港進行的最新網絡安全調查揭示,每五名港人中就有三人(58%)表示自己或身邊人的個人資料曾被外洩,較去年(54%)上升4%,仍有大部分用戶(96%)的密碼使用習慣仍然欠穩妥,這正正提醒網絡安全及數碼素養的重要性。
Google香港網絡安全調查顯示香港人網上密碼的使用習慣欠佳,87%受訪者於多個網站重用相同密碼,較去年上升2%;超過半數(52%)受訪者更在十多個網上帳戶使用相同密碼,比去年多出6%;亦有52%受訪者會向親友分享個人密碼,數字亦較去年高3%。
據《香港保安觀察報告》顯示,今年第二季,涉及香港的單一網絡保安事件宗數較上季按季上升94%。許多網絡安全專家一直強調使用高強度密碼及不重複密碼的重要性,鼓勵大家使用密碼管理工具及兩步驗證(2SV)以便加強網上帳戶安全,Google香港網絡安全調查發現75%受訪者表示當知悉資料外洩會立刻更改密碼,惟只有4%正在使用密碼管理工具。
儘管調查結果令人憂慮,值得留意的是分別有64%及39%香港人表示會考慮啟用兩步驗證及使用密碼管理員工具。
Google香港亦為港人推出全新繁體中文版的Google安全中心,一站式提供Google 密碼管理、安全檢查,安全瀏覽等安全資訊及工具;以及由Google.org支持香港社會服務聯會轄下的有機上網(WebOrganic),為長者、青少年及兒童提供智慧數碼公民教育資訊,加強網民對資訊真偽的判斷能力,目標在2023年將項目推廣至至少2,000名學童、800名家長及400名長者。
