A nationwide campaign aiming to help people enhance cybersecurity awareness and learn to prevent online attacks will start on Monday, China's top internet watchdog said.

Themed "Cybersecurity for the People and by the People", the 2022 Cybersecurity Week, which will run through Sept 11, is jointly organized by 10 government departments, including the Cyberspace Administration of China, the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Public Security.
