📋 Tender Overview
Rostelecom gave a lecture on digital literacy to students of educational institutions at the republican festival on cyber hygiene in Mordovia. At the site Educational workshop on information security Secrets of Network, the providers specialists told schoolchildren and teachers about current virtual threats and ways to protect against them and gave practical advice on behavior on the Internet.
Evgenia Korotkova, Director of Work with the Mass Segment of the branch of PJSC Rostelecom in the Republic of Mordovia:
Carelessness on the network can lead to tragic consequences. Fraudsters are constantly coming up with new tricks to deceive users - deepfake, phishing, links to contests for voting, hacking accounts on social networks, fake websites of stores and applications and many other ways to obtain personal information. We discussed the rules of password protection for accounts with teenagers, taught them how to create two-factor authentication in popular services, and used examples to show how not to become a victim of intruders.
The providers experts reminded schoolchildren about the most common methods of deception: fraudsters offer to extend the validity of a SIM card or a contract for communication services, convince them to protect their funds from unauthorized write-offs by transferring savings to a reserve account.
Elena Dobryaeva, Deputy Director for Technical Direction at the Republican Center for Additional Education for Children:
We have been cooperating with Rostelecom for several years now. At the providers lecture, workshop participants learned a lot about digital security and tried to apply the knowledge they gained when protecting their projects. In total, more than 20 works on the basics of cyber literacy were presented to the expert council at the festival.
After the lecture, the teenagers took part in a quiz on cyber hygiene and got acquainted with a book on the rules of conduct on the Internet . The publication talks about the risks that can be encountered in the digital world and gives advice on how to avoid them.
