The study showed an "alarming level of carelessness and ignorance about security among online users", the China Daily newspaper said. Almost half of those asked in the survey never changed their passwords for e-mail accounts, the China Internet Network Information Centre found. "It is urgent to improve the awareness of Chinese netizens," the newspaper quoted the group's report as saying. The English-language daily did not specify what sort of hacking was involved. Internet users in the country are mainly young and often relatively poor, the survey also found. Almost 70 percent of users are under 30, with 60 percent earning less than 1,500 yuan (181 dollars) a month. Many of China's estimated 26.5 million Internet users log on either as students or in thousands of cyber cafes across the country. Ren Xiao'ai of the survey organisers said that while it was important young people were attracted to the Internet, content providers should also offer sites appealing to older generations, the China Daily added. China has seen an explosion in Internet usage in recent years, with more than 242,000 local websites existing as of the end of June, up from a mere 1, 500 in 1997, the study showed. In May and June this year, an average of 78 new sites were registered every day. COPYRIGHT 2001 Agence France-Presse. All rights reserved. ------------------------ Yahoo!
