- Description
As the internet and social media increasingly shape our everyday lives, the threat of cybercrime is also on the rise. Phishing attacks are omnipresent: fraudsters pose as trustworthy institutions and try to gain access to sensitive data via emails, text messages or fake websites. Weak passwords, which are often too short or not sufficiently unique, also pose a significant security risk.
Recognizing fraudulent strategies early on and closing security gaps is crucial. A combination of technical protective measures and an awareness for individual responsibility strengthens digital resilience and provides protection against threats.
Two digital card games relating to phishing and password security can be played on the Touch & Learn. The playful approach encourages an understanding of security concepts as users learn to recognize suspicious patterns and distinguish secure from insecure passwords.
