Nora learns that technical knowledge can protect or harm, and that permission separates security testing from illegal intrusion.

Leo sees how an attacker uses urgency, fear and fake authority to trick people into revealing passwords and codes.

Nora discovers a taken-over account and uses official recovery, new passwords and extra sign-in protection.

Leo learns how stolen personal data can be used to impersonate someone else and whom to alert.

Nora learns that digital extortion is never the victim’s fault and that a trusted adult, the service and police can help.

The class learns what ransomware does, how suspicious attachments can spread malware, and why backups and quick reporting matter.

Leo learns that fake game mods and apps can hide malware that steals data, shows adverts or takes control of a device.

Nora and Leo follow a simple plan: stop, alert, preserve evidence, recover through official channels and learn from the incident.
