What is Cybersecurity?

Have you ever lost your schoolbag and worried that someone might look inside and take your things? The internet is just like that! If we are not careful, people we don’t know can steal our personal information, like passwords and photos. 

How Can You Stay Safe Online?

• Cyber Hygiene – Just like you brush your teeth every day to stay clean, you should also practice good online habits. Use strong passwords, update your apps, and never click on strange links.
• Internet Safety – Think before you share! Never post personal information like your home address, phone number, or school details online. If a stranger asks for your info, don’t reply—tell an adult.
• Phishing Awareness – Some hackers pretend to be your bank, a famous company, or even a friend to trick you into giving away your password. If an email or message looks suspicious, don’t click on any links.
• Digital Identity – Everything you do online leaves a “footprint.” If you post something, it stays on the internet forever. Make sure everything you share represents you in a good way!
