October is Cyber Security Month across Europe. Slovenia participates in the campaign with the Safe on the Internet program, the main purpose of which is to turn treatment into prevention, and victims of scams into hunters of online scams.
In October, Internet Safety Month, online scams will be illustrated with the help of a tour of the Ana Monroe Street Theatre. The performances will take place in all major cities in Slovenia and will entertain with their satirical humor and at the same time remind the public to be careful online. Street performances will illustrate online scams in the offline world, highlighting the difference between caution in real life and often overly trusting online behavior. The remaining educational content, quizzes and new video guides will also be available on the website www.varninainternetu.si, as the campaign will continue throughout the year.
