Commuters Risk Data Breaches With Careless Work Habits On Public Transport

The report emphasizes the urgent need for increased awareness and protective measures.

The new survey from multinational cybersecurity and anti-virus provider firm, Kaspersky, reveals that commuters who use public transport are at risk of causing data breaches due to their careless work habits. The investigation highlighted alarming behaviors among UK commuters that could compromise work security. With as many as 2.2 million UK users commuting to work via public transport, there is a significant risk of inadvertently sending malicious emails that could jeopardize organizational privacy.

According to a report by cybersecurity firm The Metro News, 66% of commuters admitted to writing work emails while waiting for public transport, with 29% even drafting important documents without caution. This lack of awareness poses a serious threat of sensitive information falling into the wrong hands.

The survey also found that 35% of commuters overheard confidential business information during cell phone conversations on public transport, with 24% mentioning specific business names and locations. This inadvertent sharing of valuable information with potential cyberthieves underscores the importance of vigilance during daily commutes.

Kaspersky recommends that commuters take preventive measures by safeguarding sensitive visual information such as work badges, personal IDs, email signatures, and workplace locations while traveling on public transport. As the risk of data breaches continues to rise, prioritizing privacy and security during daily commutes is crucial for all individuals.

David Emm, Principal Security Researcher at Kaspersky, warns, “Many of us unknowingly leave behind valuable personal information during our daily commutes, including business details and sensitive information. Handling strategic information in public spaces can have severe consequences for both businesses and individuals if leaked.”
