Eurostat noted however that the actual rates were perhaps higher than those cited in the survey covering more than 200,000 European computer users, as the numbers included only those individuals who realised that they had been hit.
Međutim, Evrostat je ukazao da je stvarna stopa bila verovatno veća od one navedene u istraživanju, kojim je obuhvaćeno više od 200.000 evropskih korisnika kompjutera, jer brojke uključuju samo one pojedince koji su shvatili da su bili pogođeni.
