Over 7,000 students to date crush CyberNuts
Under the auspices of the European Cyber Security Month, the CyberNut (KüberPähkel) survey is carried out in Estonia among Grade 4 to 9 pupils under the leadership of TalTech and the Estonian Internet Foundation, and with the support of the Ministry of Defence. As part of the survey, students can challenge themselves in basic knowledge about digital safety and crypto puzzles.
Mid-term review:
- Students' assessment of their digital competence and safe behaviour is good or very good. The assessment of content creation (including programming or creation of websites) is lower;
- People operate online mostly under their own name; according to two-thirds of respondents, having a dummy account is not a trend;
- There are many social media opportunities used in the school, including with the teacher. Schools should pay more attention to the security of this activity;
- Two-thirds of respondents do not have experience with cyber bullying;
- Most students have a high interest in using new technologies (drones, 3D printing, etc.).
If your child has not yet participated in the survey, they can do so during the school holidays at www.kyberpahkel.ee! Participation in the survey is open from 1 October to 2 November 2018.

Starting a company? You can now reserve your .ee domain at the same time
The Estonian Internet Foundation (EIF) and the Centre of Registers and Information Systems (RIK) have added two new services to the e-Business Register that allow entrepreneurs to reserve or book a .ee domain name already during the company formation process. The solution helps entrepreneurs think about registering their .ee domain name right from the start, and avoid problems in situations where a company's name is already public in the Business Register but the matching .ee domain has not yet been registered.
