Improving Digital Security in Poland

Social media accounts contain some of our most precious digital memories and help us stay in touch with our loved ones. We conducted a survey and found that 78% of social media users in Poland reported that they would consider their account being hacked to be a stressful incident. Despite this, only 30% of them currently use two-factor authentication, one of the most effective safeguards against hacking attempts.

When asked what would be the most impactful consequence of account compromise, 45% of Poles mentioned the possibility of fraud aimed at friends, 45% mentioned access to their private messages, and 43% mentioned potential reputation damage if a hacker posts or sends messages to friends. 

Facebook and other online services offer easy-to-use security features to help protect your account and your community. 53% of surveyed Poles said that they are willing to spend at least 30 minutes to improve the security of their account and 97% would have no problem spending five minutes on it. With this in mind, we’ve simplified our setup process.

It takes just a few minutes to review the security and privacy settings on Facebook. It’s easy to activate additional security features on Facebook, such as changing your password, enabling two-factor authentication and receiving security alerts about login attempts from unrecognised devices.
