Anomali Harris Poll Reveals Majority of Americans Won’t Vote for Candidates Who Approve Ransomware...

Anomali, a leader in intelligence-driven cybersecurity, today announced the results of its recent survey conducted by The Harris Poll. It includes responses from more than 2,000 American adults and re Anomali, a leader in intelligence-driven cybersecurity, today announced the results of its recent survey conducted by The Harris Poll. It includes responses from more than 2,000 American adults and reveals how Americans believe business and government organizations should respond to ransomware attacks as well as their opinions on cybersecurity in general.

Cybercriminals have been using ransomware to profit off of unprepared victims for more than a decade. It rose to infamy when the WannaCry and NotPetya attacks struck the world. Recently, attackers have collected more than a million dollars from the Florida cities of Riviera Beach and Lake City. In July, ransomware drove Louisiana into a state of emergency. Organizations such as the FBI and National Conference of Mayors have come out against making ransomware payments. This survey suggests that Americans believe government and businesses alike should do more to defend against ransomware and cyberattacks, that they are willing to contribute more to the fight, and that government officials’ decisions related to cybersecurity will impact voting decisions they make in the future.

Key Findings:

64% of registered voters will not vote for candidates who approve of making ransomware payments

79% of registered voters will consider candidates’ stances on cybersecurity when making future voting decisions

66% of Americans believe that government organizations should never make ransomware payments to cyber criminals

64% of Americans believe that businesses should never make ransomware payments to cyber criminals

86% of Americans agree that when organizations make ransomware payments, they are encouraging cyber criminals to continue with such attacks

70% of Americans agree that when organizations do make ransomware payments to cyber criminals, it is likely because they were left with no other choice

Roughly 1 in 5 Americans (21%) have experienced a ransomware attack on a personal and/or work device; among those who experienced an attack on a work device, 46% say their company paid the ransom

Americans are Prioritizing Cyber Security, Willing to Contribute More to Fight

The survey revealed that many Americans view cybersecurity as a priority. A large portion (87%) believe that government should consider it as such. However, only 51 percent believe the government is effectively addressing the issue. The survey also showed that 61 percent of Americans would support a federal income tax increase to help fund government efforts to defend against cyberattacks. The breakdown for the amount of tax increase Americans would support is:

25% support an increase of up to 1%

14% support an increase of up to 2%

12% support an increase of up to 3%

6% support an increase of up to 4%

5% support an increase of 5% or more

“Enterprises and government agencies have started to pay closer attention to cybersecurity as they have learned that it can have a detrimental impact on their reputations and bottom lines,” said Nicholas Hayden, Global Head of Threat Intelligence, Anomali. “It is encouraging to learn that average Americans are now more attuned to how important cybersecurity is and to find out that they are willing to make financial commitments to doing something about it.”

Back-to-School Shopping: Kids Influenced by Social Media Push Parents to Overspend

By Elizabeth Renter | Nasdaq Kids pushing their parents for the coolest in back-to-school gear is a late-summer tradition, and today, youngsters have some backup: social media influencers. Peer By Elizabeth Renter | Nasdaq

Kids pushing their parents for the coolest in back-to-school gear is a late-summer tradition, and today, youngsters have some backup: social media influencers.

Peer and social media influences on children are not news unto themselves, but it turns out these factors are affecting how parents spend their back-to-school dollars, according to a new NerdWallet survey conducted online by The Harris Poll.

The online survey included 2,010 U.S. adults, among whom 595 are parents of kids in kindergarten through college. Of those parents, at least 6 in 10 say their children are influenced by peers or social media when making their back-to-school wishlist. And about half of these parents (51%) say they typically end up buying back-to-school products their kids want because of these influences.

"The whole notion of 'Keeping up with the Joneses' is amplified on social media, with an entire army of influencers telling your child what they 'need' to have this year. That can make back-to-school shopping a real headache," says NerdWallet personal finance expert, Kelsey Sheehy. "Ease the pressure by having a plan in place before you get started. You can even turn it into a learning opportunity and involve your child in the process so they can learn to prioritize and work within a budget."

Here's how parents are thinking about their back-to-school shopping lists, along with some tips on how to manage the costs and potential frustrations.

Key findings

Nearly all (97%) of parents with children in kindergarten through college plan on back-to-school shopping this year.

Half (50%) of parents planning to do back-to-school shopping this year say they'll likely splurge, compared with 93% of those who shopped last year who say they splurged.

Six in 10 parents (60%) with kids in school say their children are influenced by social media and 67% say their children are influenced by friends on what they want to buy for back-to-school.

More than half (52%) of these parents say they feel pressured by their children to buy back-to-school items they want, even if they cost more than they'd normally want to spend.
