Interpol, the internationally recognized crime prevention agency, has announced an online campaign that will help individuals and companies protect their networks from state funded cyber attack campaigns.

So, those who take part in this program will be shared with data collected from various resources, such as the public and private partners, online info sharing groups, and gateway Frameworks.

It is expected that representatives from over 70 countries will join the awareness program on cybersecurity to share information on recent cyber incidents and that includes non-profit organizations, representatives from UNODC and World Economic Forum, and those belonging to Britain’s NCSC.
Speaking to the press on the awareness program, Craig Jones, the Director of Interpol’s Cybercrime unit, has alerted the public and to be vigilant while using online services, as one click can push the users into deep trouble.
