While these statistics each provide their own snapshot of life during the lockdown in retrospect, what remains to be seen is how the time we’ve spent at home will shape the way we work, learn, socialize, and entertain ourselves in the months to come. At least right now, it seems that people are wanting or expecting to see change. A new study from McAfee.com/activate surveyed 1,000 working adults in the U.S. between the ages of 18 and 74 in May 2020 and found that nearly half (47%) of employees do not want to go back to working how they were before stay-at-home measures were put in place.
However that plays out in the future, it’s important to protect ourselves today while we continue to rely on our devices so heavily. Comprehensive security protection, like McAfee.com/activate Total Protection, can help protect devices against malware, phishing attacks, and other threats. Additionally, it includes McAfee.com/activate WebAdvisor that can help identify malicious websites.
And one last stat: according to Nielsen, there was an 85% increase in American streaming rates in the first three weeks of March this year compared to March 2019 reports. Again, no surprise. Yet one thing to be on the lookout for are phishing and malware attacks associated with movies and shows that are offered for a “free” stream or download. It’s a common method of attack, and we’ve compiled our Top 10 U.S. List of TV and Movie Titles That Could Lead You to a Dangerous Download. Give the article a look. Not only does it name the titles, but it also offers you great advice for keeping safe.
