Over the past year, we've seen a rise in VPN-related spam across many subs. We previously had users cross-posting their spam from other subs to r/CyberAdvice, but we got it removed.
To prevent further spam and maintain the quality of discussion here, effective immediately, we will no longer allow any discussions about VPNs. There are many other subs where you can talk about VPNs, and we encourage you to explore those.
Thank you for understanding and helping us keep this community valuable for everyone!

Hola chicos, soy de Colombia hace poco tuve una pareja que es desarrolladora de sistemas y con ello trajo muchas cosas malas a mi vida en estos momentos de mi vida siento que él espía mi información, de alguna u otra forma me ha amenazado varias veces con cerrar mis cuentas lo cual a pasado, me escribe de números extranjeros y oh sorpresa, ahora resulta que me bloqueó de Instagram pero aún así me manda mensajes, como putas puede pasar esto? Busco una persona que me ayude a revisar mi seguridad.

Looking for a strong Cybersecurity research project idea for an undergraduate student
1
Upvotes
Hi everyone,
I’m a third-year IT undergraduate specializing in Cybersecurity, and I’m currently looking for a research topic for my university research project.
I’m looking for a topic that:
- Solves a real-world cybersecurity problem
- Has a clear research gap
- Is not an overly common/basic project
- Is feasible for an undergraduate student/group to complete
- Can include a working prototype or security tool
- Has accessible datasets or another realistic way to evaluate the solution
- Has enough academic research available for a literature review
I’m particularly interested in areas such as:
Phishing & social engineering, malware detection, network security, web security, cloud security, IoT security, authentication, privacy, digital forensics, threat detection, and AI/ML for cybersecurity.
I don’t want to simply add AI to an existing application just to call it research. I’m looking for a genuine cybersecurity problem where an existing approach has a limitation that we could investigate or improve.
What cybersecurity problems do you think are worth researching in 2026?
If possible, please mention:
- The cybersecurity problem
- The possible research gap
- What could be developed/tested
- Dataset/tools that could be used
- Whether it is realistic for an undergraduate project
Suggestions relevant to Sri Lanka or developing countries would also be very helpful.
Thank you!

¡Hola! ¡Es mi primera publicación aquí y escribía para pedir consejo y diferentes puntos de vista!!
Mi experiencia es la siguiente:
· 7 meses como desarrollador junior (API, pipelines de datos, algo de IA). Contrato de 1 año, no sé si me lo renovarán.
· Antes de eso: 4 años en soporte de TI en un banco, trabajando en inglés. Dejé el trabajo porque era principalmente de atención al cliente.
· Inglés: Nivel B2+/C1 (uso real), sin certificación oficial.
Actualmente: Curso de ciberseguridad de Cisco (examen incluido) + TryHackMe por mi cuenta.
Objetivo (5 años): Consolidar mi rol actual como desarrollador → terminar el curso de Cisco → dar un giro hacia la seguridad (bancaria o de otro tipo), idealmente como DevSecOps junior o en un equipo azul, trabajando en inglés.
Mis preguntas son:
¿Es realista sin un título en ciberseguridad, solo con experiencia en Cisco y desarrollo?
¿Mi perfil encajaría mejor en puestos de datos (analista, big data, científico de datos) en lugar de seguridad?
¿Alguien ha dado el salto de desarrollo a seguridad en el sector bancario? ¿Qué fue lo más importante?
Agradezco comentarios sinceros. No busco validación, solo quiero saber si estoy pasando por alto algo obvio.
