Campaign focuses on improving Internet security

China is planning its "biggest ever" cybersecurity education campaign in hopes of keeping the public away from online fraud and hackers, an Internet watchdog said on Tuesday.

The weeklong initiative - scheduled for the first week of June - will mainly target young netizens who are heavy Internet users but have little knowledge of safety, according to the Cyberspace Administration of China, a key organizer of the event.

"It will be the biggest Internet safety campaign the country has ever seen," said Yang Chunyan, deputy director of the cybersecurity bureau at the administration. The Public Security Ministry, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and eight other organizations will co-host the event.
