The national cybercrime prevention project #SigurantaOnline, initiated by the Romanian Association of Banks (ARB), the Romanian Police and the National Directorate of Cyber Security (DNSC), will be present at the Summer Well festival, between August 8-10, with educational messages aimed at helping young people to effectively protect themselves in the digital environment.

According to a press release sent on Wednesday by AGERPRES, at the #SigurantaOnline stand, located in the Orange area of the festival, participants will discover a space where digital safety combines with technology and creativity. In addition to the essential messages for responsible online behavior, participants will be able to test an interactive experience: an AI photobooth that generates personalized, artistically stylized portraits in real time, projected on a screen visible to all. The approach represents a mix between technology, digital knowledge and entertainment - a memorable experience that transforms a simple selfie into a festival presence.

"With the development of technology and online fraud, such as phishing (false messages that appear to come from the bank requesting sensitive data), spoofing (impersonating a bank representative or an authority through phone calls) or vishing (voice cloning), are becoming increasingly sophisticated. The initiators of the #SigurantaOnline Project aim, through clear and accessible messages, to inform and increase citizens' vigilance towards these real threats," the press release states.

During the festival, participants will find clear educational messages, adapted to the pace and sensitivities of young people, with essential advice to protect themselves in the digital environment: avoiding accessing unverified links, keeping passwords confidential, recommending keeping login passwords to Internet/Mobile Banking applications secret, recognizing fake emails that appear to come from banks or authorities, and avoiding payments on public, insecure Wi-Fi networks.

The national digital education project #SigurantaOnline offers the best cybersecurity practices, by accessing the sigurantaonline.ro platform, to avoid users in Romania becoming victims of computer fraud, and now it brings its messages directly to the festival space, to reach a young audience as close as possible, in a natural and relevant way.

Summer Well Festival is an alternative music festival in Romania, held annually on the second weekend of August on the Stirbey estate in Buftea, Ilfov County.
