Don't scare people over cybersecurity, say MPs

The government should not "scare people" about the dangers of cybercrime but do more to make people aware of how they can protect themselves online, a group MPs has said.

The Commons Science and Technology Committee said malicious software - or "malware" - was a growing threat to the UK as more business was done online.
But it said most of the steps required to combat cyber attacks were "routine".
It has called for a TV ad campaign to raise awareness and less use of jargon.
Publishing a report into cybercrime and security, the cross-party committee said the internet was still a "reasonably safe place" as long as people took "sensible precautions".
