Digital technology brings opportunity, convenience, and connection, but also new risks. PHISH helps elderly citizens and their caregivers learn how to recognise phishing, avoid online scams, and use the internet safely.
The PHISH Project is a European Union initiative dedicated to strengthening digital resilience. Through scenario-based education, we empower citizens to recognise and respond to online threats. Our multilingual platform makes critical cybersecurity knowledge accessible in English, German, Polish, and Dutch.
