Summary: ENISA has published a new video as part of the European Cybersecurity Month campaign focusing on phishing and secure password management. The content explains how attackers use seemingly legitimate emails and messages to trick victims into revealing credentials and financial data. It highlights the importance of using strong, unique passwords for each online service.

Recommended protection tools: ENISA encourages the use of password managers to generate and store complex passwords and the activation of two-factor authentication (2FA) to add an extra layer of security and reduce the risk of account takeover.

Technical note: Phishing is a type of digital fraud carried out through emails, SMS, or messaging platforms to steal sensitive information. Password managers and two-factor authentication (2FA) help strengthen account security.
