Online privacy has gone from being a minority concern to something that worries the man in the street – after a study of 2,000 people found a majority believed they were being listened to online, and nearly a third would pay to stop it.
The research, carried out with a group of 1,000 employees in the UK and 1,000 in Germany, was commissioned by Blackphone, the “ultra-private” encrypted Android handset which was “hacked” on stage in five minutes at DEF CON (the company promised to patch the issue). Silent Circle, the company behind BlackPhone – and the widely used PGP encryption standard – clearly wishes to highlight that privacy is becoming a mainstream issue.
