Action Day 'Definitely Not Today'
Digital crime is a major problem and unfortunately continues to occur with increasing frequency. Criminals are becoming increasingly sophisticated, and digital offenders are often difficult to trace. The question is no longer whether you will become a victim, but when. During the 'Definitely Not Today' action day, we are joining forces to raise awareness about the dangers of digital crime in a lasting way. The more people remain vigilant, the better we can prevent new victims!
