With half of Americans lacking confidence in companies and government when it comes to protecting personal information, it's no surprise three-quarters are more alarmed than ever about their privacy, according to a research from NortonLifeLock.

Americans are split on who should be held most responsible for ensuring personal information and data privacy are protected.

"Americans are outliers compared to other countries surveyed in that they are willing to accept a lot of the responsibility in protecting their own data and personal information," says Paige Hanson, chief of cyber safety education, NortonLifeLock.
