Dangerous strangers and cheating in clicker games: «Kaspersky Lab» released videos for the new season of the «Digital Literacy» project
In the new season, the company together with the autonomous non-profit organization «Digital Economy», with the participation of the Russian Ministry of Education and the Russian Ministry of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media, in support of the implementation of the national project «Data Economy» and the national goal «Technology Leadership», have again prepared videos on current cyber threats.
The first video reveals the topic of online grooming, when an adult tries to gain the trust of a child in order to further realize unlawful actions against him or her. The second video tells how fraudsters, using popular clicker games, try to get hold of children's personal data and their parents' money. The educational videos and methodological materials for them are available on the website цифровойликбез.рф.
«New educational videos from «Kaspersky Lab» will tell schoolchildren about current cyber threats and popular fraudulent schemes and teach them how to recognize the risks in time and avoid becoming a victim of fraudsters. These topics were chosen for a reason: cybersecurity and digital literacy are important aspects of the development of the data economy. The videos will help students learn the basics of safe behavior in the Internet space and competent use of modern technologies. These are important digital skills and competencies that professionals need for the successful development of the industry in the future», - comments Sergey Plugotarenko, Director General of the autonomous non-profit organization «Digital Economy».
