Share this challenge with students: Your friend is excited about getting their first cellphone. They are active on social and are constantly using their phone to check favorite sites and post content. They feel uneasy about how many DMs they are getting and ask you to take a look...
Have a conversation to get students thinking about their own experiences with cyberattacks:
What are some scams you've heard about?
Have you ever gotten a suspicious DM? What made you feel like it wasn't legit?
Provide the handouts to students.
Ask students to talk through the list and point out which DMs they feel are suspicious.
Talk about which types of cyberattacks were new and which do they think were the most dangerous, and what steps can be made to protect their own data.
