Lessons I Learned: I learned a lot of new things during this module! There is a lot of cybersecurity being reported in the news than I had realized. I believe this is very helpful in the sense that it helps me be more aware of my data and protection online. I learned quite a bit regarding phishing and what to look out for. I think a cool part of this module was completing the CCBC cybersecurity training, not only did it teach me about cybersecurity but it also showed me how to avoid and detect scams, malware and malicious software.
