Digital life and technologyLesson 9 · A2 · 10 minutes

In this lesson

Pause and check a message that asks for a link or code.

The idea, simply

Do not click the link or send a code; verify the sender through an official channel. Signs of a suspicious message are heavy urgency, a request for a code or password, and a strange sender address. Report it, then delete it.

Examples

  • I will verify this message before I click.

  • Do not share the security code.

  • I reported the message and deleted it.
