Summary: In the literature on fear of crime in physical space, there is a well-established relationship between direct experiences of victimization, the environmental characteristics of the place of victimization and its impact on the perceived risk of future victimization. However, nowadays there is very limited evidence about this relationship in cyberspace. Therefore, here we present an innovative experimental research design based on the simulation of a malware cyberattack. The results point in a double direction. On the one hand, both the perceived risk of future cybervictimization and the self-protection measures adopted are not distributed randomly in different cyber-places and, secondly, the experience with the attack in a specific cyber-place seems to extend both the perceived risk and the level of self-protection to other different cyber-places.
