Google and Euroconsumers (a European group that campaigns
for consumer information and defense by making legal and economic improvements)
launch Space Shelter, a game for web platforms to encourage Internet users to
surf the Internet more safely .
This initiative was launched to celebrate European Cyber
Security Month in October and aims to test users' security skills while
having fun.
Every day, Google automatically closes over 100 million
phishing attempts; Google Photos encrypts 4 billion photos and Google Play
Protect performs security scans on 100 billion apps installed on all kinds of
devices.
900 million passwords are verified every day and over 4
billion devices are automatically protected by safe browsing technology that
allows you to search miles of millions of URLs for dangerous websites.
In any case, to make the internet a safer place, it is
essential to help spread healthy digital habits. Google maintains direct
contact with experts and educators to help users set boundaries and use
technology in a way that works for them and their environment. This is the
objective of this initiative and the central element of the partnership with
Euroconsumers.
The game consists of making a virtual trip in space whose
mission is to reach the highest level to increase online security.
The objective of the mission is to drive the ship through
the galaxy and park it safely in the Space Shelter:
• board the astronaut.
• Spacecraft Security: Create a very secure passcode for the
spacecraft computer.
• install shields on the ship to make it even safer: 2FA.
• Space pirates: you will have to dodge aliens and unexpected
obstacles.
• clearance to land.
Additional objectives:
• complete the game in 10 minutes.
• Complete the game with a score of 99% on the knowledge
bar: you can see your progress as you go through the mission.
• answered questions correctly.
Before piloting the spacecraft, the astronaut training team
asks you to take a quick test with questions about password theft, computer
security, phishing, two-factor authentication, and more.
Space Shelter was developed by the Italian company Gamindo,
it is built in HTML5 using CANVAS technology and is available for mobile
devices (iOS and Android) and computers.
