Latvia Launches 'Sniff out the scheme!' Cybersecurity Awareness Campaign
A unique cybersecurity awareness campaign, 'Sniff out the scheme!', kicked off in Riga on Monday, September 8. Using beloved characters from 'The Criminal Excellence Fund', the initiative aims to bolster public resilience against digital threats.

At the heart of the campaign lies the 'Cybersecurity Excellence Fund' video series. It uses the cult comedy's characters to engage audiences and convey crucial cybersecurity lessons in an entertaining way.
