SECUSO supports awareness day at TU Freiberg (21-03-2025)

On Wednesday, April 2, 2025, an awareness day on cybersecurity will take place at the TU Bergakademie Freiberg. Materials from the SECUSO research group on the topic of phishing will be used for the event. Our NoPhish materials were developed to help users better understand attacks in the form of fraudulent messages and learn how to protect themselves. NoPhish introduces the topic of phishing and shows how to recognize implausible, fraudulent messages, messages with dangerous links and messages with dangerous attachments.

What to do if your website has been hacked? (19-03-2025)

Over the past three years websites have been identified that are affected by unauthorized malicious website redirects, an attack type similar to SEO spam, resulting in links to fake shops in the search engine results of a website. As part of the INSPECTION project funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), two videos were created by the SECUSO research group in order to explain this problem clearly and provide those affected with measures to identify whether they themselves have been hacked, how to fix the problem and how they can protect themselves in the future. These videos and other results of the project are now available on the SECUSO website.
