ABSTRACT

This study examines digital awareness and online safety practices among Albanian youth, focusing on risky behaviors and perceptions of privacy. Using a quantitative questionnaire completed by 120 participants aged 15–25, the research analyzed internet usage habits, knowledge of protective measures, experiences with online harassment, and reactions to such situations. Findings reveal a gap between awareness and action, with low adoption of security practices such as two-factor authentication. Gender and age differences in digital awareness and behavior were also observed. The study highlights the urgent need for educational programs and policy interventions to strengthen digital safety and awareness in Albania.
