New survey aims to boost cyber security and resilience.

94% of islanders shop online, 88% bank online and 94% have received a scam email.

Despite these figures, only 27% of us have taken action to improve our online security.

The figures come from a government survey in 2020.

The Manx government is now looking to see how those trends may have changed over six months.

It has launched an online survey and a spokesman has asked everyone to take part.

The survey is open online until 13 September and you can part here.
