INOCULUM and Rescueware at European Researchers’ Night 2026
Published:
The INOCULUM and Rescueware projects joined forces at the European Researchers’ Night 2026, at Forum Braga, as part of INESC TEC’s stand! Visitors of all ages learned about ransomware and the everyday habits that help prevent attacks or limit their damage. Younger visitors played Guardião dos Ficheiros, a card game about protecting files from a ransomware monster, while teenagers and adults played Locked Out, a decision-based digital game built around realistic emails and invoices.
