Travelers: Cyber Risks Now a Top Consumer Concern

ust as property/casualty insurers are increasingly worried about cyber risks, it turns out consumers fears are growing rapidly right there with them, according to The Travelers Companies’ 2015 consumer risk survey.
About 57 percent of Americans now worry about cyber risks, up substantially from 36 percent in 2014. The jump makes it the third biggest consumer risk in 2015. Only financial concerns and risks (number 1) and personal privacy and identity theft risks (number 2) scored higher as a top worry.
