“The UK is one of the most advanced internet societies in the world,” said Mike O’Brien, MP.

“Britain’s economic competitiveness depends on the continued growth of e-commerce and e-government. Rapid broadband adoption increases exposure to viruses and online fraud that could threaten Britain’s online economy. This campaign will help the most vulnerable internet users to transact online more securely and its success relies on the active participation of leading British businesses.”
