Day 30/30 🎉
I started this challenge knowing very little about cybersecurity. 30 days later, I'm leaving with more knowledge, more confidence, and an even bigger desire to keep learning.
Thank you @TechSphereAcad my tutor @_FayvorO, and everyone who supported me along the way.

You guys should be careful of the links you click.
I haven’t checked if it’s a malicious link but the sense of urgency in this text says it all .

My friend, who has been job hunting for a long time, found an application online, started filling it out, and somewhere in the middle it started asking for her BVN, NIN (I’m pained I lost the screenshot)
That is not a job application, it’s just like an identity theft in disguise.
Not every job application you see online is real. Some are specifically designed to harvest your personal information.
What a legitimate job application should never ask for:
🚫 Your BVN
🚫 Your NIN
🚫 Your account number
🚫 Your passport details upfront
🚫 Any form of payment
-Before you fill any job application:
✅ Verify the company is real, check their official website
✅ Make sure the application link matches their official domain
✅ If something feels off, stop and verify first
See you tomorrow. Till then, THINK CYBER SMART, STAY CYBER SAFE

For example, an old social media account you no longer use could still contain your phone number, email address, or private messages.
Quick tip: Take time to check your old online accounts and permanently delete the ones you no longer need.
Think smart and Protect your data.

Your phone contains more personal information than you may realise.
Think about your photos, emails, social media accounts, banking apps and saved passwords. What would happen if someone got access to your device?
It's Day 19 of cybersecurity awareness with @CyberRealm_HQ
devices goes beyond setting a password. It's also about protecting the information stored on them and making it harder for someone else to gain access.
So, what can you do?
- Lock your device: Use a strong PIN, password or biometric authentication.
- Keep it updated: Install security updates for your operating system and apps.
- Download apps carefully: Use official app stores and check the permissions an app requests.
- Enable Find My Device: This can help you locate, lock or erase a lost device, depending on your device and settings.
- Back up your data: Keep a backup of important files so you can recover them if your device is lost, damaged or compromised.
And please, don't leave your phone unlocked with just anybody because you know them.
How many of these security habits do you already practise?

Verify Suspicious Videos Before Sharing.
Not every video you see online is real. Scammers can use AI to create fake videos that make people appear to say or do things they never did.
This is called a Deepfake.
