More than 80 percent of Americans doubt the U.S. government’s ability to maintain
computer security and privacy, according to a poll released
Monday as reported by Reuters. Eighty-one percent of Americans were either “very concerned” or “somewhat concerned” that government-held data about them may be
misused some day, according to the survey conducted for the
Information Technology Association of America, a
trade group. Another 72 percent said they would not feel
safe signing a contract over the Internet using a “secure
digital signature.”
