On the 21st of September Te Ngahere did a cybersmart challenge about scams and phishing, We got given photo’s of emails and pop up to decide if they were legit or fake. Scams and Phishing is when someone tries to get personal information or tricks you into clicking something that is not what they say it is, it also means that if you share your personal details on the wrong site they can log into your account and access your personal information. You can tell if something is legit or fake by 1. Looking at the padlock on the top right corner of your screen and checking if it has a red line on it because If it does it means its not secure. 2. If you get a pop up it is always fake because It is just phishing for your personal information 3. Always check their email address and see if something is off about it like Google spelt with zeros. To keep safe you always check if it is legit or fake and never give any site your personal details unless it is run by your teacher or adult. It was hard to understand how to see if something is legit or fake so I asked someone to help me to understand.
Can you identify if something is legit or fake?
