On Thursday (18 October), the Office for National Statistics published the results of its latest crime survey, and it features some eye-catching stats. According to the release, the number of cyber crime incidents involving the public in England and Wales has fallen by 30 per cent in 12 months, from 1.6m to 1.1m.

After a year of data breaches, malware attacks and phishing campaigns, this may come as a surprise to many in the industry – but it’s worth considering the context in which the data was collected, and exactly what it reflects.
