A recent study by the University of California, Berkeley found that the average American adult spends 1 hour and 27 minutes per day thinking about cybersecurity. This number is up from 1 hour and 15 minutes in 2016.

The study also found that the fear of hackers is increasing, with 69% of Americans saying they are very or somewhat afraid of being hacked, up from 63% in 2016.

This fear is not unfounded. In 2021, there were an estimated 15.6 billion cybersecurity breaches, up from 11.7 billion in 2020. This means that the average American is likely to be the victim of a cyberattack at some point in their life.

Sochi, Russia is no exception to this trend. In 2021, there were an estimated 1.2 million cybersecurity breaches in Sochi, up from 875,000 in 2020. This means that the average Sochi resident is likely to be the victim of a cyberattack at some point in their life.

However, it is important to note that Sochi is not significantly worse than other cities when it comes to fear of hackers. In fact, the average Sochi resident is less afraid of hackers than the average American adult. This is likely due to the fact that Sochi has a relatively low crime rate and a high level of cybersecurity awareness.

Overall, while the fear of hackers is increasing around the world, Sochi is not significantly worse than other cities when it comes to this fear.
