Yettel and Óbuda University continue scholarship program for female talent
 
Three out of four Hungarians have someone in their lives who inspires them, and 8 out of 10 of these people are Hungarian role models, according to a recent representative survey. Most of the time, it is the motivation and perseverance of role models that appeals to Hungarians, but intelligence is also an important factor, and for Generation Z, success. The survey shows a need for more inspiring figures in healthcare and education, while younger generations also emphasize nurturing home-grown talent in IT and technology. This is supported by joint scholarship program between Yettel and Óbuda University that is to be continued as Yettel announced on International Women’s Day.

How do you protect yourself from increasingly sophisticated digital threats?

Today is International Data Protection Day, an annual reminder of the critical role data protection plays in the digital world.

According to cybersecurity firm SlashNext, the number of credential phishing attacks increased by 703% in the second half of 2024.* This is dangerous because obtaining the credentials can give attackers access to sensitive information, financial data or even company systems, leading to serious data theft, financial loss and security risks.
