42.4% of Americans willing to give up alcohol to ensure cybersecurity

People are willing to give up a number of luxuries, including their eyesight, to ensure personal data is never leaked, according to a recent Modis survey

Modis, a staffing agency focused on IT and engineering, asked over 1,000 people how they prioritize internet security and privacy.

Here are six things people are willing to give up for cybersecurity.

1. Alcohol: 42.4 percent

2. Social media: 30 percent

3. Chocolate: 29.1 percent

4. Meat: 17.4 percent

5. Significant other: 3.1 percent

6.Vision: 0.7 percent

Most respondents, however, indicated they wouldn't be willing to pay to get their data back after a hacked. Although 4.9 percent said they'd pay $1,000 or more to retrieve hacked data, 67.5 percent said they wouldn't pay a thing.
