What we covered:

โœ…Cybersecurity vs Online Safety
โœ…Easy tips & tricks on responsible online behaviour
โœ…Who to contact when in need

Threat actors swap letters, add symbols, and copy brand logos perfectly. Most people never notice.

Always check the FULL sender email before clicking or replying. Look twice. Trust nothing suspicious.

โฐ "Your account will be locked in 24 hours!"

Sound familiar? That panic is the point.

๐ŸŽฃ Phishers fake urgency to make you act before you think. The more pressure they apply, the more suspicious you should be.

Next time you feel rushed by an email:
โœ‹ Stop
๐Ÿ” Verify through official channels
๐Ÿ“ž Call the company directly

Slow down ๐ŸŒ

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Cyber Awareness Tip Friday

๐ŸŽฃ That link in your inbox could cost you a lot

Phishing attacks start with one careless click. Threat actors craft emails that look 100% legit - from your bank, your boss, or another Government agency.

Before you click any link:
โœ… Hover first, to preview the URL
โœ… Go directly to the website instead of clicking
โœ… If it feels off, it probably is!
