contents <div> <div> <div> <p>Progress and digital transformation of the society have provided criminals with new opportunities to obtain and misuse personal identity information. The emer- gence and spread of online identity theft (OIDT) is an example of this. Very little is known about the profile, needs and experiences of people whose identity informa- tion has been compromised or misused. OIDT European victims often do not report the crime. But the negative experience hides important resistance in psycho-social perception. With the aim of analysing the impact of OIDT in different European countries, but also to profile victims, this article will show how: (1) OIDT affects also expert users; (2) the OIDT-related stigma creates a “constructed” fragility in these victims; (3) the higher the degree of confidence and digital literacy, the bigger the perception of stigma and the fear experiencing a secondary victimisation.</p> </div> </div> </div>
