Markus Wortmann:<\/em> I have noticed that many people use new media in a very unreflective way.

This exposes them to dangers that could generally be avoided with a little more care. <\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.wikibanking.net\/img\/schutz\/Interview_Markus_Wortmann\/logo_sicheres_netz_hilft_ev.jpg\"){kind=logo}
