Summary/Abstract: False and rapidly disseminated information can model public sentiment, influence the results of democratic elections, create tensions in the international arena, and even cause armed conflicts. In the event of a crisis, disinformation may be a tool used to destabilize the internal situation of the state. In such a situation, unauthorized access to classified information may also have serious consequences.Contemporary digital devices and the systems that manage them do not require the average user to have fluent knowledge of IT systems and technical skills. However, the development of modern technologies determines the need for constant updating of knowledge in this field. It applies in particular to people who deal with the broadly understood state security.
