Ohio AG launches cybersecurity campaign

dangers of Internet crime and identity theft.

Ohio Attorney General Mike Dewine on Friday announced that his office is launching a cybersecurity awareness campaign.

“We want to give people practical tips to stay safe online,” DeWine said. “Cybercrime and identity theft are serious problems in Ohio and across the country, and we want to let people know what they can do to help protect themselves.”

The program includes cybersecurity messages that will be displayed in public transit systems in cities including Dayton, Columbus, Cleveland and Toledo beginning this month. Signs also will be available for display at Ohio libraries and schools, DeWine said.

The program is funded through grants. This year, DeWine’s Consumer Protection Section received a $25,000 grant from the Sears Consumer Protection and Education Fund. For the full article click here
