Phishing

In this class quest the students will find out what phishing is and how they can recognize it. Criminals, for example, pretend to be a bank, school, or insurance company and then ask for personal information. Other forms of phishing are an email stating that the recipient has won a prize, or a WhatsApp message that tells the reader that the reader will receive a large inheritance from grandma.In this lesson, students are given tools with which they learn to look critically at their messages. For example, there are often small errors in the message, for example spelling errors or an error in the URL such as .nnl instead of .nl.The Phishing Lynx explains the tricks hackers use to trick their victims into something. That way the Cyber ​​Agents won't stink next time!
