Lessons in this module
Strong Unique Passwords
Reusing one password means a single breach exposes every account that shares it. Unique, strong passwords — ideally managed with a password manager — contain any breach to the one account affected.
Two-Step Verification
Explain how two-step verification works and why it provides critical additional protection even when a password has been compromised.
Phishing and Fake Login Pages
Identify the hallmarks of a phishing email — including domain mismatches, urgency, and credential requests — and describe the correct response when one is received.
Limit App Permissions
Evaluate each app permission request during setup and decline any access that is not necessary for the app's stated function — to minimise unnecessary data exposure.
Act Quickly After a Data Breach
After a data breach the risk continues for as long as the stolen information can be misused, so the first 24 hours matter: change passwords, enable two-step verification, and watch financial accounts to close the window of exposure.
