Jan 28, 2019 · bbc.com
More than £190,000 a day is lost in the UK by victims of cyber-crime, police statistics show.
More than a third of victims in that period fell prey to the hacking of social media and email accounts.
Action Fraud said £34.6m was reported to be stolen from victims between April and September 2018, a 24% increase on the previous six months.
The City of London Police, which runs Action Fraud, has warned people to keep separate passwords for online accounts.
The figures show 13,357 people in the UK reported cyber crimes over six months.
