中国网络诈骗猖獗？英国更猖獗，已经到了“不敢用信用卡”的地步 - 电信诈骗,网络诈骗 - IT资讯
（原标题：英媒称英国网络诈骗泛滥500万人取消信用卡）
参考消息网报道 英媒称，一项调查显示，去年有近500万英国人取消了银行卡，这是目前为止体现英国诈骗活动猖獗程度的最明确迹象。
据英国《泰晤士报》网站9月19日报道，调查结果表明，10%的英国成年人在遭遇网络攻击、身份盗窃或银行卡克隆后，更换了信用卡或借记卡。银行卡诈骗给受害者带来的平均损失为475英镑，也就是说，被窃取的资金总额超过了20亿英镑。
报道称，网上诈骗活动非常普遍，以至于人们开始避免网上支付。这项调查首次关注了英国顾客为了保护个人账户安全而采取的措施，因为银行业拒绝公开关于每年新发放卡片数量的具体信息。
受害者不仅在遭遇诈骗活动后需要更换银行卡，如果黑客通过攻破存储了受害者具体信息的互联网零售商的网络系统并获得了其账号，受害者也需要更换银行卡，如此规模庞大的损失将会重新激起关于英国警方是否为应对网络犯罪做出了足够大的努力的讨论。
在网络欺诈行为首次被计算在内后，今年英国官方统计的犯罪率几乎增加了一倍。这些数据表明，英国人在电脑上遭到打劫的可能性是在大街上遭遇打劫可能性的20倍。警方积极调查的网络欺诈行为不到这类行为总数的10%，由于此类犯罪的数量过多，警方不得不依赖一种电脑程序来评估相关案件是否值得跟进。结果是，每650起欺诈案件中，只有一件最终将犯罪分子定罪。
消费者权益组织的詹姆斯·戴利说：“这些数字表明，网络欺诈活动变得非常普遍。虽然银行补偿了大多数银行卡欺诈活动所造成的损失，但还是有许多其他类型网络欺诈活动的受害者没有追回损失的钱财。最起码，这些人遭遇的犯罪活动应该得到彻底的调查。”
剑桥大学安全工程领域的教授罗斯·安德森说：“通常一支警察队伍里面只有一两名负责网络犯罪的警察，因此除非网络诈骗者牵扯到恐怖主义或儿童色情活动，否则他们几乎肯定会逃脱处罚。”
报道称，由英国民意调查公司——波普勒斯公司所做的这项研究发现，1/3的银行欺诈活动受害者会通过更多地使用现金或者减少网上交易来应对这一问题，从中可以看出猖獗的网络犯罪正在损害数字经济。不过，公众对于这方面的风险依然估计不足，1/4的人给所有的银行卡和网上账户设定的都是相同的密码。
乔迪·贝克是委托波普勒斯公司开展这项调查的comparethemarket.com公司资金部门的负责人，他说：“考虑到我们有这么多人在网上购物或进行资金往来，再加上非接触式支付越来越普遍，谨慎处置你的资金变得比以往任何时候都更加重要。”
他说：“要定期检查你的银行对账单是否有异常活动，因为犯罪分子会经常性地窃取小额资金，这比一次性卷走一大笔钱更难以引起人们的注意。”
报道称，欺诈活动受害者当中，5%的人说他们对银行处理这一问题的方式感到不满。
