The European Network and Information Security Agency (ENISA) has released a midpoint report on the first European Cyber Security Month (ECSM) and the figures are highly encouraging.

The campaign has already reached close to 2 million users on Facebook and judging by the upcoming events, it will reach a lot more in the following period.

Hundreds of professionals and thousands of regular Internet users have already taken part in events hosted by Portugal, Spain, Norway, Luxemburg and Slovenia.

In the following days, Romania will host the Cyber Threats 2012 conference, the UK will host a road show part of which 5 major cities will be visited, and the Czech Republic will host not only media campaigns, but also a roundtable discussion on some hot information security topics.

ENISA has produced a video that shows how internauts expose themselves to malicious operations each day by sharing private information online. The clip is available here.
