Abstract
The Internet is full of false claims about supposedly effective preventive- and countermeasures to cybersafety and cybersecurity risks, and the majority of computer users are not well-informed on this topic. The average user utilizes the Internet to educate themselves and, among other things, to answer questions that their children ask. But when it comes to cybersecurity threats, there are plenty of risk measure recommendations on the Internet, which can be confusing. Of the few sites that provide practical measures, there are only a few that comply with current German standards. So, how are German adults (parents and teachers) supposed to qualitatively educate themselves, apply this knowledge and also pass it on to their children? Additionally, how are children, who may be just learning to research, supposed to get reliable cybersafety and cybersecurity knowledge?
