In a March 2022 survey, 40 percent of French respondents who had been hacked at least once considered the risks of cyber attacks and data breaches very high. Additionally, nearly six in 10 respondents who had been hacked within the previous 12 months perceived the threat of cyber attacks and data breaches as significant. In contrast, only around 27 percent of those who had never been hacked saw a high risk in cyber incidents.
