A new function in mObywatel before the end of the holidays. What will it offer?

mObywatel is undoubtedly one of the most important applications for contacting offices and handling civic matters. It will soon gain a new function. It is a module “Safe on the Net” allowing you to report fraud on the net.

Online security is something we write about often. Fraudsters are using increasingly sophisticated means to steal our data and login details, e.g. to banks. And this is a simple way to a clean slate. We often warn against fake text messages, emails and links that lead to fake pages of popular services. Now, the mObywatel app is to help in the fight against fraudsters, which will gain a new module this summer – “Safely on the Net”. The fact that a new function will appear in mObywatel in August was confirmed in an interview with the service CyberDefence24 Dariusz Standerski.

The Deputy Minister of Digital Affairs explains what it will enable:

“Safe on the Net” will allow you to report SMS and email phishing. Then the reports will go to CSIRT NASK or other national CISRTs.

– that much and that much. Although Standerski did not go into details, one can suspect that the new function will simplify the entire process of submitting notifications related to potential frauds. At the moment, it is easiest to report them directly to CERT by visiting the website Report an incident. All suspicious SMS messages with links can also be reported using the “Forward” function, directly to the number: 8080.

What else are the creators of mObywatel working on? In the queue for sharing are, among others:

  • Chatbot – a virtual assistant providing information about government services
  • Signing documents with a trusted profile and e-ID
  • Honorary Blood Donor ID Card
  • Local documents (senior citizen and resident cards) for local government units that have signed an agreement with the Ministry of Digital Affairs
  • Suspending and resuspending an ID card
  • Notification management
  • e-Delivery
  • Development of ePayments
  • My passport details
  • Your matters: statuses of applications (for ID, passport and others) of a citizen
  • Access to the Contact Data Register

When will they appear in the app? The only marker indicating the progress of work is the information “in progress” or “planned”. However, it is worth waiting for updates. As soon as something new appears in the app, you will receive an appropriate notification. Also, check Antyweb, where it informs about the latest changes in mObywatel.
