Cybercrime victimization and seeking help: A survey of students in Slovenia

Abstract

Most cyberspace users fell victim to some cybercrime. This poster reports on a survey of students conducted to provide an overview of cybercrime victimization and related help-seeking behaviors. The results suggest that unwelcome private messages with sexual content or requests, infections with a virus, unauthorized access to online accounts, and offensive and hostile messages were most common cybercrimes. Respondents would most often turn to their friends, the police, and family members for help.
