This initiative was created in 2023 by the RCTS CERT team, a digital service of the Foundation for Science and Technology, developed through FCCN, which responds to computer security incidents within the RCTS network.
The “Tell me your password” was created with the premise of disseminating information that allows any citizen to understand “how to protect themselves and the data they share”, said the person in charge at the time of its launch.
