TEST YOUR UNDERSTANDING
Have you understood the dangers of phishing? Take our mini quiz to find out!😉
QUESTION 1
You receive an email or text message from a stranger asking you to click on a link. What do you do?
A - I reply or click on the link in the email or text message
Nope! Ignore the email or text message and tell your parents or an adult. Show them what you received and tell them if you have done anything in particular. There’s no shame in telling the truth: it happens to everyone, even adults.
B - I fight back and get even on my own
Nope! Fighting back or taking revenge will not help. The people who set these traps are very intelligent. Ignore the email or text message and tell your parents or an adult.

C - I ignore the email and tell my parents or an adult right away
Well done! That’s the right answer! You should never go it alone or take things into your own hands when dealing with hackers (bad people). There’s no shame in having clicked on a bad link, for example. It happens to everyone, even adults.
