A significant portion of Israel's population, approximately 50%, has encountered various cyber threats within the past year, according to a large-scale study by the Israel National Cyber Directorate. The research, presented during National Cyber Defense Week, also revealed that about two-thirds of citizens received suspicious messages in the last month alone.
The study indicated that one-third of users fell victim to phishing attacks, 28% were affected by malware, and 13% experienced the theft of their banking information. Despite 98% of respondents acknowledging the existence of digital threats, only 33% feel adequately equipped to defend themselves.
Public response to these threats remains largely passive, with over half of those surveyed simply deleting suspicious messages rather than reporting them to authorities. However, a majority of Israelis are employing basic digital hygiene practices. The use of two-factor authentication has risen to 61%, nearly 54% install protective software, and 50% regularly change their passwords.
To address the gap in user awareness and self-protection capabilities, the Israel National Cyber Directorate has launched a free service called "Click Check." This tool allows individuals to verify suspicious links and automatically forwards information about fraudulent sites to specialists for swift blocking. The public's trust in government cybersecurity structures remains high.
