About 56 per cent of Australian small and medium businesses surveyed had been affected by cybercrime, up from 46 per cent in 2008, according to internet security firm Symantec.
The survey found the top concern, by 52 per cent of respondents, was malicious software created by cybercriminals.
"Cybercrime is a warranted concern for Australian small and medium businesses," Symantec managing director for the Pacific region Craig Scroggie said in a statement.
"In 2009, Symantec identified more than 240 million distinct new malicious programs globally, a 100 per cent increase over 2008."
