This is Cyber Security Month

October is European Cyber Security Month, which is the EU’s annual campaign to promote cyber security. Throughout this month, An Garda Síochána will share insights and tips from the Garda National Cyber Crime Bureau to support the public in staying cyber secure.

One focus is malware, which attackers use to gain unauthorised access to a computer, steal or encrypt the data, or inject code onto the system, allowing remote administrator control.
