The article contains a comprehensive analysis of the risks of cybercrime in 15 European countries and shows where consumers and companies are most at risk. It examines four key dimensions: Consumer risks, business risks, behavioral risks and financial losses. Germany ranks fourth in overall risk due to frequent attacks and insecure user behavior, while Austria and Switzerland face high financial losses per capita. SMBs are particularly at risk due to limited cyber security measures. The UK has a high exposure, which may be exacerbated by Brexit, while Ireland has the lowest risk. The study highlights the urgent need for stronger cyber security strategies and awareness across Europe.
