Protecting Cybersecurity in Daily Life and Personal Information Privacy! ... Busan City Conducts 'Cybersecurity Awareness Campaign'

Busan City will promote a 'Cybersecurity Awareness Campaign' targeting citizens from May to July in collaboration with the National Intelligence Service branch.

'Cybersecurity Awareness Campaign'.

Recently, there have been cases where hackers impersonated non-life insurance companies to distribute 'ransomware' or malicious programs demanding money, and incidents of personal information leaks impersonating public institutions have surged.

In response, the city has prepared this awareness campaign to encourage citizens' interest in cybersecurity and to prevent any damages.

The city produced short videos on topics such as ▲ransomware prevention in daily life ▲personal information protection guidelines ▲cybersecurity, demonstrating how to properly manage smartphones and computers in everyday life. These videos will be intensively promoted throughout Busan via subway platform destination displays, bus stop information kiosks, IPTV installed in citizen parks, and outdoor electronic billboards at City Hall, aiming to maximize the campaign's effectiveness.

Additionally, Busan City and district/county employees will hold a slogan contest on information security and personal information protection. The selected outstanding slogans, chosen through voting, will be displayed on the Gwangandaegyo Bridge electronic billboard throughout July, which includes 'Information Protection Day,' to raise awareness about 'practicing cybersecurity in daily life.'

A city official stated, “We hope this campaign will serve as an opportunity for citizens to pay more attention to practicing cybersecurity in daily life, and we will do our best to create a safe digital city Busan together with its citizens.”
