#digit-R in Regensburg: When a click becomes a security risk
Phishing, online fraud, and hacked accounts have long become part of digital everyday life. At the 19th edition of the #digit-R event series, on November 4, 2026, at the Degginger, everything revolves around the question of how secure we really are online.
Live hacking makes digital dangers tangible
A special highlight of the evening is the live demonstration by Jürgen Buchberger. The lecturer and trainer for digital topics vividly shows how cyber attacks occur, where typical vulnerabilities lie, and how quickly a minor oversight can lead to a serious security problem. The immediate demonstration creates an impressive event atmosphere and translates complex IT security into understandable scenes.
Artificial intelligence changes IT security
Prof. Dr. Maria Leitner, holder of the Chair of Artificial Intelligence in IT Security at the University of Regensburg, contextualizes the current threat landscape. The focus is on how AI changes phishing, identity theft, and other attack methods – while also serving as a tool in defense.
Cyber resilience and digital sovereignty
IT journalist and consultant Markus Feilner focuses on companies and organizations. He demonstrates how to recognize digital dependencies, prepare for security incidents, and create structures for greater cyber resilience. This connects the event's current expertise with concrete perspectives from practice.
Practical tips for accounts, data, and money
Eva Traupe, a fully qualified lawyer and head of the consumer law expert team at VerbraucherService Bayern, translates the topic of cybersecurity into everyday life. She provides tips for protection against phishing, online fraud, and hacked user accounts and explains what steps affected individuals should take after a digital attack.
Audience in focus
Following the insights, there will be an interactive panel discussion with questions from the audience. Christian Omonsky from CONCEPTNET GmbH will moderate the evening on behalf of R-KOM. Voting, conversations, and direct exchange ensure a lively audience atmosphere and make the event experience particularly approachable.
Conclusion
#digit-R combines live hacking, scientific contextualization, and everyday protection measures into an informative evening about digital security. Those who want to better recognize phishing, protect personal data, and understand the role of AI in cyber attacks will experience a practical event at the Degginger with relevant impulses for individuals, companies, and authorities.
