Unit Summary:
Cybersecurity means protecting your digital life—like games, photos, and personal info—just like locking your house.
It's important because it keeps your personal details safe, blocks viruses, and stops hackers and online scams.
Personal information like your name, location, passwords, and bank details should never be shared online.
Netiquette is about using good manners online—being kind, thinking before posting, and respecting others' privacy.
Sharing too much online can leave a digital footprint that bad people can misuse, even if you delete it later.
Identity theft happens when someone steals your info and pretends to be you, often to steal money or access accounts.
It can happen through phishing emails, fake phone calls, public Wi-Fi, and even hidden tools on websites and ATMs.
To stay safe, use strong passwords, don’t click strange links, check your accounts often, and update your devices.
A website is a collection of internet pages with text, pictures, or videos—and safe websites protect your privacy.
A strong password is long, unique, hard to guess, and doesn’t use your personal details or real words.
