Surfshark has created a series of horror movie posters that have been redesigned to showcase common cybersecurity threats. These posters are based on the original posters for popular horror movies, such as Alfred Hitchcock's 'Psycho,' Jordan Peele's 'Get Out,' and Eduardo Sánchez's 'The Blair Witch Project.'
These posters showcase the dangers of the modern internet. As Surfshark states, "navigating the internet in 2022 makes you feel like you're the protagonist in a horror film." The cybersecurity threats shown in these posters include phishing links that try to steal personal information, spyware that hides within "free' software, and the potential dangers of facial recognition software. This campaign is meant to encourage individuals to be careful when navigating the Internet, as in some cases, the dangers of falling victim to a cybersecurity threat can be very severe.
