New prevention tasks

Digitalisation is constantly advancing into our lives. We are all personally dependent on digitalisation. Let’s think about banking, let’s think about coordination with friends, let’s think about the pupils who work with certain social media groups and of course post really great things and information. This is also a wonderful gateway for criminals. This is a subject that the criminals also recognised. When I presented the 2019 Management Report with Federal Minister Seehofer, we discovered that we have over 900 million malware programs. 900 million! We see over 300,000 new malicious programs every day. In a joint survey conducted with ProPK and the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI), we found that one in four has already become a victim of cybercrime. This means that if you take a head count when there are four of you in the family, one of them has become a victim. An incredibly high number. Being victimised means phishing attacks, means that passwords are taken, that data is encrypted. If you imagine that when you take pictures, you usually take them digitally. You put them on your hard drive and an attack can look like all this data is encrypted, so it is no longer accessible and usable. That is why it is important to take appropriate preventive measures. That is why it is important to take precautions. This means, for example, that the images are backed up on an independent backup server. These are relatively simple activities, and a great deal of information can be found on the relevant websites of ProPK and the BSI for citizens.
