Consumer Reports survey: 9 in 10 Americans hit by scams or cyberattacks
A new study by Consumer Reports, Aspen Digital and the Global Cyber Alliance found that roughly 90% of US adults have experienced at least one digital scam or cyberattack. Confidence in the safety of personal data has dropped sharply, with those saying they have no confidence at all in protections for data like Social Security numbers nearly doubling from 16% in 2025 to 29% now, while those expressing confidence fell from 48% to 32%.
