    The article analyses the Internauts’ information security culture and discusses the theoretical fundaments of this psycho-social phenomenon. Three hypotheses was formulated, assuming that: (1) Internet users represent varying levels and nature of the information security culture, (2) there is a close relationship between Internet users’ information security culture and their online activity, and (3) the information security culture of Internet users can be improved in the education process. All hypotheses were positively verified. This verification was based on the method of analyzing the literature on the subject and the available statistical data as well as the method of synthesis. The author examined the information security culture elements regarding the Internet users. The quoted examples allowed a conclusion the level and character of the Internauts’ information security culture is varying and related to their activities in the cyberspace.
