Interesting about this job

Digital safety:
Online crime has unfortunately been on the rise for years, with victims regularly losing substantial amounts of money. For example, one in five people aged 55+ has been a victim of online scams at some point. The impact of online crime is huge, while victims are often ashamed and do not always report the scam. We want to break this through good education and conversations about digital safety.
