Imagine waking up one morning to find your phone or computer acting strangely.

00:19.000 --> 00:25.000
Files missing, pop-ups everywhere, or even a message demanding money to unlock your files.

00:25.000 --> 00:27.000
How would you feel?

00:27.000 --> 00:32.000
We're going to learn how to detect and stop cyber threats before they cause damage.

00:32.000 --> 00:37.000
Let's dive into the world of cyber safety.

00:37.000 --> 00:42.000
There are many types of cyber threats, but let's focus on three major ones.

00:42.000 --> 00:48.000
Fishing, fake emails or messages that trick you into giving away personal information.

00:48.000 --> 00:54.000
Example, an email pretending to be from your bank asking for your password.

00:54.000 --> 01:00.000
Malware, harmful software that damages your device or steals information.

01:00.000 --> 01:07.000
Example, downloading a free game from an unknown website that makes your computer crash.

01:07.000 --> 01:15.000
Ransomware, a type of malware that locks your files and demands money to unlock them.

01:15.000 --> 01:19.000
How can we spot these threats before they harm us?

01:19.000 --> 01:24.000
Suspicious links. Check if links match the official website.

01:24.000 --> 01:31.000
Unexpected attachments. Be cautious of strange file types from unknown senders.

01:31.000 --> 01:39.000
Unusual device behavior. Slow performance, pop-ups or strange error messages can indicate malware.

01:39.000 --> 01:48.000
Now, let's talk about protecting ourselves. Use strong passwords. A mix of letters, numbers, and symbols.

01:48.000 --> 01:53.000
Enable two factor authentication. Adds an extra layer of security.

01:53.000 --> 01:58.000
Use antivirus software. Scans and removes threats.

01:58.000 --> 02:02.000
Keep systems updated. Fixes security weaknesses.

02:02.000 --> 02:08.000
Steps to handle a cyber threat. One, identify the threat.

02:08.000 --> 02:13.000
Recognize unusual device behavior. Unauthorize logins or ransom messages.

02:13.000 --> 02:20.000
Two, contain the damage. Disconnect from the internet or shut down affected devices.

02:20.000 --> 02:28.000
Three, report the incident. Inform a trusted adult, teacher, or IT professional.

02:28.000 --> 02:35.000
Four, recover data. Restore data using backups or seek professional help.

02:35.000 --> 02:44.000
