Practical guides to help you recognize malware, phishing, scams, and other online threats.

📶⚠️ BE CAREFUL WITH PUBLIC WI-FI

Don't connect to every public Wi-Fi network you see. An unknown or fake hotspot may put your privacy and data at risk.

🚫 AVOID:

• Wi-Fi networks with suspicious names

• Unknown hotspots that ask for unusual information

• Networks that redirect you to suspicious websites

• Automatically connecting to unfamiliar networks

🛡️ IF YOU MUST USE PUBLIC WI-FI:

• Verify the network name with the establishment.

• Keep your device and apps updated.

• Avoid entering sensitive information on unfamiliar networks.

• Turn off automatic Wi-Fi connection.

• Forget the network when you're finished.

⚠️ IMPORTANT:

Public Wi-Fi itself does not automatically contain a virus or Trojan. The bigger risks can include fake hotspots, insecure connections, phishing pages, and attempts to intercept or manipulate traffic.

🧠 REMEMBER:

UNKNOWN WI-FI → CHECK FIRST → CONNECT CAREFULLY

When in doubt, use a trusted mobile data connection instead.

🚨 Scam Warning Signs

"Act now!"

"You won!"

"Your account will be deleted!"

"Send your verification code."

"Pay immediately."

"Download this file to fix your device."

"You've been selected for a special reward."

🧬 How Malware Works

Malware can take different forms, but many threats follow a similar pattern: delivery → execution → behavior → impact.

🦠 Virus

A computer virus is malicious software that can attach itself to other files or programs and may spread when those files are executed or shared.

Common risks:

- File damage

- Unwanted changes

- System disruption

- Spreading to other files

🐴 Trojan

A Trojan is malware that disguises itself as something legitimate, such as an application, document, or installer.

Common warning signs:

- Unknown software

- Fake updates

- Suspicious downloads

- Unexpected permission requests

🎯 RAT — Remote Access Trojan

A RAT is malware designed to provide an attacker with unauthorized remote access to a device.

Depending on the malware, this may allow unwanted control or access to information.

Protection:

- Avoid unknown software and APK files.

- Keep security software enabled.

- Keep your device updated.

- Never install programs sent by strangers.

🕵️ Spyware

Spyware is designed to secretly collect information about a user or device.

It may attempt to collect information such as browsing activity or other sensitive data.

Protection:

- Review installed applications.

- Check unusual permissions.

- Keep your device updated.

- Use reputable security tools.

🔐 Typical Malware Lifecycle

1. Delivery

The malware may arrive through a malicious download, attachment, compromised website, or deceptive message.

2. Execution

The malicious program runs after a user or another process starts it.

3. Activity

The malware performs its intended malicious behavior.

4. Impact

The result may include stolen information, unwanted access, damaged files, or other harmful activity.

🛡️ How to Stay Protected

Think before you download.

Do not install unknown programs, modified APKs, or unexpected attachments. Keep your operating system and applications updated, use reputable security software, and ask a trusted adult or qualified technician for help if something seems suspicious.

- 🗑️ Remove apps you do not recognize or no longer need.

- 👨‍👩‍👧 If you are unsure about an app, ask a trusted adult before installing it.

⚠️ Remember

Unknown does not automatically mean malicious, but unknown apps deserve extra caution.

Before installing anything, ask yourself:

Who made it?

Where did it come from?

What permissions does it request?

Do I really need it?

🧠 STOP → CHECK → VERIFY → DOWNLOAD

Your device is worth protecting. Think before you install.

🛡️ PRIVACY TIPS

• A VPN can hide your public IP address from the websites you visit.

• Choose a reputable VPN provider.

• Keep your VPN app updated.

• Remember that a VPN does NOT make you completely anonymous.

• A VPN does not automatically protect you from phishing, malware, or dangerous downloads.

• Don't enter passwords or personal information into suspicious websites just because you are using a VPN.

• Use a secure browser and keep your device updated.

⚠️ REMEMBER

VPN = EXTRA PRIVACY

VPN ≠ COMPLETE ANONYMITY

⚠️ DON'T COPY RANDOM APK DOWNLOADS FROM SOCIAL MEDIA

You may see videos on TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, or other social media showing people downloading APKs from unknown websites.

Don't copy what you see just because the video makes it look safe.

🚫 An APK shown in a video may be modified, fake, outdated, or malicious.

🔍 Before downloading an app, ask:

• Is this the official developer?

• Is the source trustworthy?

• Is the app available through the official app store?

📥 SAFER CHOICE

Download apps from official app stores whenever possible. If you need an APK, use the developer's official website or another trusted source.

🛡️ REMEMBER

DON'T COPY → CHECK THE SOURCE → VERIFY → DOWNLOAD SAFELY

🛡️ BE READY FOR ONLINE THREATS

You don't need to be a cybersecurity expert to protect yourself. Good security habits can make a big difference.

🔐 PROTECT YOUR ACCOUNTS

Use strong, unique passwords and enable 2-step verification or passkeys when available.

🧠 REMEMBER

THINK → CHECK → VERIFY → PROTECT

Staying safe online starts with being careful about what you click, download, and share.

🛡️ TIP: USE CAPTCHA TO HELP PROTECT YOUR WEBSITE

CAPTCHA can help your website distinguish between real users and automated bots.

🔐 WHY USE CAPTCHA?

• Helps reduce automated spam.

• Helps prevent bots from repeatedly submitting forms.

• Adds an extra layer of protection to login and contact forms.

⚙️ HOW TO USE IT

1. Choose a trusted CAPTCHA service, such as Google reCAPTCHA.

2. Create a site registration for your website.

3. Add your website domain to the CAPTCHA settings.

4. Follow the service's instructions to add the CAPTCHA to your form.

5. Test it before making the form available to visitors.

⚠️ IMPORTANT

CAPTCHA is not a complete security solution. Keep your website, accounts, and forms protected with other security measures too.

🧠 REMEMBER:

CAPTCHA → LESS BOT SPAM → SAFER FORMS

🤖 BE AWARE OF BOTS

Not every account, message, or website online is operated by a real person.

⚠️ WATCH FOR:

• Automated accounts sending suspicious messages

• Bots posting repeated or misleading links

• Fake accounts pretending to be companies or people

• Websites asking you to complete suspicious tasks

• Messages trying to make you act quickly without checking

🔍 BEFORE YOU TRUST SOMETHING:

Check the account, website, source, and information carefully.

🚫 DON'T:

• Click suspicious links

• Download unknown files

• Share passwords or verification codes

• Trust an account simply because it looks real

🛡️ REMEMBER:

STOP → CHECK → VERIFY → THEN RESPOND

CAPTCHA can help websites reduce automated bot activity, but it cannot detect every malicious person or account.

⚠️ DON'T ROOT YOUR DEVICE WITHOUT KNOWING THE RISKS

Rooting an Android device can remove some of the security restrictions built into the operating system.

🛡️ WHY BE CAREFUL?

Root access can give apps much greater control over your device. If a malicious app gets root privileges, it may have more opportunities to cause serious problems.

⚠️ POTENTIAL RISKS:

• Malware may gain greater access

• A malicious app could abuse elevated permissions

• Security protections may be weakened

• Some banking or security apps may stop working properly

• System updates can become more complicated

• An incorrect modification can make the device unstable

🚫 DON'T ROOT JUST BECAUSE A RANDOM VIDEO OR WEBSITE TELLS YOU TO.

If you don't fully understand what you're changing, it's safer to keep your device in its normal, supported configuration.

🧠 REMEMBER:

UNKNOWN ROOT TOOL → 🚫 AVOID

UNKNOWN APK → 🚫 AVOID

RANDOM MODIFICATION → 🚫 AVOID

🛡️ KEEP YOUR DEVICE SECURE

Use official software, install security updates, and only give apps permissions they genuinely need.

🤖⚠️ BE CAREFUL WITH FAKE AI ASSISTANT APPS

Not every app claiming to be an AI assistant is genuine or trustworthy.

🚫 Avoid downloading AI assistant APKs from random websites, pop-ups, or unknown sources.

🔍 BEFORE INSTALLING:

• Check the developer name.

• Download from the official app store whenever possible.

• Verify the app's official website and publisher.

• Check reviews carefully.

• Don't install modified or “premium unlocked” APKs.

• Be suspicious of apps asking for unnecessary permissions.

🛡️ REMEMBER

A fake AI app can potentially put your privacy, accounts, or device at risk.

OFFICIAL SOURCE → VERIFY → DOWNLOAD SAFELY

If you're unsure whether an AI app is genuine, don't install it until you can verify its source.
