Security: What Does It Mean In The Context Of The Ukrainian Situation

In Ukraine, many aspects of life turned 180 degrees after the war hit, including private life, business, and many other points that have changed completely. In this regard, now could be a good time to reconsider your security. What impacts your safety, and how to predict where danger can come from? Security Holding suggests some ideas. 

Aspects that you need to consider

Most people today are vulnerable to psychological influence. It opens a wide field for work for intruders or frauds, especially those who work from a distance. In this context, being too wary is not nearly a solution because it only produces anxiety and makes a vulnerable person even more attractive to scammers. 

If to talk about what particular aspects you are to consider, we emphasize the following:

• keep up with the rules of informational hygiene – information is coming through innumerable amount of sources, and some of them post or send false messages in both literal and figurative senses;
• be aware of who you talk to – sharing personal or business info with people is risky in and of itself, but today we also have the category of citizens who are internally displaced people, and you never know what to expect in both good and bad meanings;
• never share sensitive data with people you don’t know well – here, sensitive data is not only those pieces of information that are obviously dangerous to share but also some details that seem unnecessary but give a clearer picture of what your wealth and business are.

These recommendations are purely logical, but remember that psychological tension and hard fatigue weaken your attention, so you can miss the moment you make a mistake. 

How war impacts the security in different regions

The situation in various regions in Ukraine varies depending on how far the area is from the frontline and how often rocket attacks happen. It determines the amount of internally displaced people and the general state of collective psychological condition. Besides that, take the initial mentality into account.

Thus, we can take the West of Ukraine, for example. There, you can find many people who want to leave the country unlawfully, those internally displaced who lost all their property, and many other frustrated people. When there’s despair – there are individuals who want to make money from this. These regions are even more “comfortable” for fraudsters because they’re close to the Western borders with Poland and other neighboring countries from where all the help and money comes. 

The East and the South of Ukraine have other peculiarities related to the proximity to the frontline. Even though they are generally similar in the type of problems, however, these find their displays in different aspects related to supply, money distribution, and lack of people. 

To summarize, it’s better to point out that today, people in Ukraine are divided into three categories: those who live in war, those who profit from it, and those who forget war is ongoing. To not become a victim of those from the second category, use the complex services of Security Holding for your life and business. Stay safe and sound regardless of everything!
