Description

The ever-growing online presence and that attacks exploiting human errors remain popular result in people becoming increasingly vulnerable online. Based on it, our goal was to measure people's privacy awareness. In this paper, we present the results that founded our two theses. The first describes that the respondents' privacy awareness is low, and they do not tend to want to change it. The second describes the following observation that we could strengthen through the example of the Hungarian National eHealth Infrastructure. Besides the broad promotion of a service or its function significantly tends to influence people to become more familiar with it, choosing the appropriate generation-specific platform for the education is also essential.
