Use Strong and Unique Passwords:<\/strong> create strong passwords (using a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols) and avoid using the same password across multiple platforms.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)<\/strong>: Adding an extra layer of security through two-factor authentication (2FA) ensures your accounts are better protected from unauthorized access. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
Be Mindful of What You Share<\/strong>: Think twice before sharing personal information, such as their full name, address, school name, or phone number online, especially on public forums and social media. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
Verify Contacts Before Interacting<\/strong> : Teach students to verify the identity of new contacts or followers, especially on social media or messaging apps. Just because someone claims to be a friend doesn\u2019t mean they are who they say they are. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
Adjust Privacy Settings<\/strong> : Students should regularly review and update privacy settings on social media platforms to control who can see their posts, photos, and personal information.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Avoid public Wi-Fi for sensitive transactions<\/strong>: Public Wi-Fi networks are less secure. Students should avoid accessing sensitive information, such as bank accounts or school portals, on open WiFi.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Think Before Clicking<\/strong>: Beware of the dangers of phishing scams and malicious links. They should be cautious about clicking on links from unknown sources, even if they appear to come from familiar contacts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Limit Location Sharing<\/strong>: Disable location services on apps that don\u2019t require it and avoid sharing their real-time location with people they don\u2019t fully trust.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Be Wary of Downloads<\/strong>: Download only those apps or files that are from trusted sources, as malicious downloads can infect devices with malware or steal personal data.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Set Boundaries for Digital Engagement<\/strong>: Set boundaries for digital interactions, such as not responding to unknown messages or only communicating with people you know in real life.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Monitor Your Digital Footprint<\/strong> : Be conscious that everything you post online creates a digital footprint that can be hard to erase. Consider how your online actions may affect your future.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":672,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-601","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-digital-literacy-and-citizenship-in-schools"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.zamit.one\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/601","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.zamit.one\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.zamit.one\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.zamit.one\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.zamit.one\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=601"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.zamit.one\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/601\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":699,"href":"https:\/\/www.zamit.one\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/601\/revisions\/699"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.zamit.one\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/672"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.zamit.one\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=601"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.zamit.one\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=601"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.zamit.one\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=601"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
