In recent years, many spheres of our lives have moved into virtual space. That’s where we increasingly work, educate ourselves, conduct official business, and connect with friends. The Web is now a large part of our lives. At the same time, research shows that as many as 80 percent of Poles are unable to assess whether a website they visit is safe. For this reason, we have decided to create a nationwide educational campaign at T-Mobile called “Pewni w sieci”. The campaign ensures that everyone will be able to feel confident and safe on the Internet – regardless of their age and digital competence.
In 2021, Poland ranked fifth in terms of exposure to password-cracking attempts on computers operated by people working remotely. The rapid increase in the number of cyber incidents is also evidenced by the indicator for phishing attacks. These were up by 196 percent, almost double in 2021 compared with 2020. Meanwhile, four out of five Poles still lack sufficient knowledge to assess whether the website they are visiting is safe. The statistics are clear – every one of us will come across an online scammer sooner or later, but not all of us can handle this kind of situation.
The issues addressed in the campaign include the most common threats in cyberspace, such as phishing, smishing, spoofing or disinformation and fake news. In addition, the initiative discusses the topics of data protection and online privacy, secure online shopping, strong passwords, social engineering and secure devices. The educational campaign includes a cyber course in the form of six short educational videos hosted by science popularizer Karol Wójcicki. The videos present him talking to experts about various aspects of cyber security. A new episode is broadcast on the project website each week on Wednesday, as well as on the official YouTube channel of T-Mobile Poland.
A series of educational articles is also available on the project website. All materials in the “Pewni w sieci” campaign are united by an accessible way of communicating content that everyone can understand.
All educational material for the “Confident in the network” project can be found at www.pewniwsieci.pl.
