According to a report from Kaspersky Lab, 56 percent of internet users feel that complete privacy in the modern digital world is impossible.

For many people, their worries about digital privacy may come from personal experience. Kaspersky's research finds that 26 percent of people have had their private data accessed by someone without their consent, rising to almost a third (31 percent) among 16- to 24-year-olds.

An interesting finding is that once people believe complete privacy is unattainable, some consumers would be willing to sell their own information, rather than waiting for someone to else to capitalize on it. The survey finds 39 percent of respondents would accept money in exchange for giving a complete stranger full access to their private data. In addition, 18 percent of people would sacrifice their privacy and share their data if they received something free in return.
