Approximately 27 percent used this login method for all accounts where possible, compared to 25 percent in 2022. Around 50 percent only used it for some accounts. Older people were the least familiar with two-step verification and also use it the least often.

That compares to 67 percent in 2023 and 63 percent in 2021. People are more likely to doubt the information they see on social media than information on news websites. Scepticism about the accuracy of information on social media has increased over the past four years.

Over a quarter were also very concerned about the misuse of banking details or personal details. Although almost all respondents had taken measures to secure their devices or online accounts, half believed there was still a risk of becoming a victim of hacking.

That was fewer than in 2023, when 816 thousand crimes were recorded. The number of high-impact crimes (those with the greatest impact on the victims, such as burglary and violent crime) remained virtually unchanged. Almost 6 in 10 crimes were crimes against property, such as theft and fraud. Recorded crime fell between 2011 and 2018, but has now been stable for the past six years.

Most people agree that ‘no means no’ when it comes to unwanted sexual advances towards women. They also agree that it is a good thing when women refuse to put up with unsolicited sexual comments from men. However, women are more likely than men to report having experienced unwanted sexual behaviour. This is reported by Statistics Netherlands (CBS) on the basis of the Emancipation Monitor and the Prevalence Monitor on Domestic Violence and Sexually Transgressive Behaviour.
