Cyber Security Campaign (Phase Two)

Details

2. To enhance the awareness on cyber security, as well as to let the public and students understand the impact and threats imposed by botnets, the CSTCB of HKPF has launched the first phase of “Cyber Security Campaign” in 2017. To further promote this campaign and the related educational activities, the HKPF has updated the leaflet and poster, as well as the related website to include further information about the latest figure of various cyber threats, new virus cleaning tools, as well as two new videos to introduce different types of cyber threats and promote the campaign.

3. The HKPF has organised a series of publicity and educational activities for the public with an objective to reduce the number of botnet-infected computers in Hong Kong and to diminish the cyber threats against the local critical infrastructures, organisations and the public.

The supporting IT companies have agreed to provide free scanning and removal tools for this Campaign. The public can download, scan and clean their computers, if infected. For details, please visit the website at http://www.cybersecuritycampaign.com.hk.

4. A set of promotional materials including poster and leaflet on preventive measures for cyber security will be distributed to schools. School Heads are requested to complete the relevant collection form (Annex 1 for primary schools / Annex 2 for secondary schools) and make arrangement to collect the promotional materials at the respective Regional Education Offices from 30 May to 29 June 2018. The softcopies of the poster and leaflet have also been uploaded to the website http://www.cybersecuritycampaign.com.hk.
