The Swiss do not seem to be particularly good at separating truth from lies, according to a study by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
The Truth Quest Survey involved 40,765 participants in 21 countries. The 1,531 participants from Switzerland came third from last. Only Colombia and Brazil did worse. The US and France were also in the bottom third of the international comparison. By contrast, the best results were achieved by participants from Finland, the UK and Norway.
A total 761 people had sensitive personal data hacked during a cyberattack on the education department of the Swiss city of Basel.
