Cybersecurity 101

Imagine Olivia, Jackson, and Kai are secret agents. Which method would they most likely use for secure online communication during their mission?

• Caesar cipher

• Public-key cryptography

• Morse code

• Enigma code

Mason, Anika, and Sophia are having a debate. Mason says that all websites encrypt their traffic, Sophia thinks that encrypted sites take longer to load, and Anika believes you can tell if a website encrypts its traffic by looking for the lock symbol in a URL. Who is correct?

• Mason

• Anika

• Sophia

• None of them

Emma, Liam, and Olivia are discussing online security. They want to know which communication method is completely safe from security threats. Can you help them decide?

• Emma suggests social media messages

• Liam thinks it's phone calls

• Olivia is confident it's video chats

• Could it be all of these methods?

• Or is it none of these?

Suppose that three spies, Olivia, Leo, and Max, have been using secret codes for centuries to:

• Locate hidden treasure

• Exchange confidential information selectively

• Rule a kingdom

• Transmit encoded emails

John, Emma, and Oliver are discussing ways to protect their online privacy. They all agree on the following methods, EXCEPT:

• Regularly updating their privacy settings on social media

• Using the same security question for all online accounts for easy recall

• Installing a reliable antivirus software

• Using two-factor authentication whenever possible

Oliver, Ava, and Emily are having a conversation about internet security. They are curious about who might be able to access and exploit their personal data online. Can you assist them in understanding this?

• Social media platforms

• Internet service providers

• Marketing companies

• Hackers

• All of the above

Maya, Avery, and Henry are discussing the reasons why hackers hack. What could be the possible reasons?

• To make discoveries

• To protect information

• To steal information

• To expose corruption

• All of these

Abigail, Aria, and Ava are discussing different hacks. Which of these is not a hack?

• Using a bicycle to power a computer

• Stealing an unlocked bicycle

• Building a working bicycle out of discarded umbrellas

• Creating a kinetic bicycle sculpture

Imagine this, Olivia, Aiden, and Hannah are watching The Secret Lives of Hackers video. According to the video, can you guess what hacking is?

• Is it problem solving by using an object’s properties in unexpected ways?

• Or creating problems where there previously were none?

• Maybe using materials as they were intended to be used to solve problems?

• Or could it be all of the above?

Oliver, Ava, and Mia are discussing the persistence of cyber vulnerabilities. They want to understand the primary reason behind their continuous existence. What could be the main cause?

• Is it because the authorities are preventing their resolution?

• Or perhaps because hackers rely on them for identity theft?

• Are they safeguarded in a hidden lunar facility?

• Or is it due to the unintended consequences of the convenience and openness of online communication?
