Lesson 11: Password Managers – Are They Safe?
Password managers help you store and generate strong, unique passwords. They use encryption to protect your vault, which is locked with a master password only you know.
Example: You only remember one master password. The password manager fills in strong passwords for all your sites like banking and email.
Lesson 12: Spotting Fake Job Offers Online
Scammers create fake job postings or emails to collect your personal info. Real companies never ask for money to apply or request sensitive info upfront.
Example: A fake recruiter offers you a job but asks for your passport, bank details, and a “training fee”. It’s a scam.
Lesson 13: QR Code Scams
QR codes can be used to trick you into visiting malicious websites. Never scan codes from strangers or untrusted locations unless you verify the source.
Example: A scammer puts a fake QR code on a parking meter. Scanning it opens a phishing page that steals your credit card info.
Lesson 14: Device Tracking and Location Privacy
Apps and devices often track your location. While it can be useful, it can also expose your movements or routines. Review app permissions and turn off tracking when not needed.
Example: A shopping app tracks your visits to other stores to sell that data to advertisers.
Lesson 15: Avoiding SIM Swap Attacks
SIM swapping is when an attacker tricks your mobile provider into transferring your number to their SIM card. This gives them access to SMS 2FA codes and calls.
Example: A hacker uses your leaked personal info to convince your phone company to move your number. They then log into your accounts using SMS codes.
