Consultation description

We are exploring ways to reduce the burden of responsibility on individuals for cyber security and make large-volume reductions in cyber crime and associated offences.

We want your views on:

• the risks associated with unauthorised access to online accounts and personal data

• actions that should be taken to address the problem
• who should be responsible for taking these actions

The government is committed to making the UK safe online and tackling cyber crime. Cyber crimes can lead to other serious crimes including fraud, extortion and domestic abuse.
