[pchelpers] News:Many net users 'not safety-aware'

Fewer than half of the UK's 29m adult internet users believe they are 
responsible for protecting personal information online, a survey suggests.

One in six of the 2,441 people surveyed felt responsibility rested with 
banks.

The research, for a government-backed online safety campaign, found 12% 
had suffered online fraud in the last year - at an average loss of £875.

The same number (5%) had experienced fraud while shopping online as had 
had their bag, wallet or mobile stolen.
