    1 - Understanding Hacking

    Hacking is like someone trying to sneak into a secret clubhouse without permission. They try to get into computers or websites they're not supposed to. It's important to keep our secrets safe and always ask grown-ups for help if we're curious about things online!


    2 - Understanding Your Information

    Let's learn about your information, also called data. Your data is like your special secrets, such as your name, where you live, your birthday, and your favorite color. Companies collect this information to help you, but sometimes it can be hacked. So, we need to keep our information safe online.

    3 - 5 Rules to Keep Your Information safe Online

    1. Only Tell Friends.
    2. Don't Click Stranger Links.
    3. Be Careful Online.
    4. Super Strong Passwords.
    5. Update Your Gadgets.





    4 - What the Rules Mean

    Only Tell Friends: Just like you tell your secrets to friends, only share your special information with grown-ups you trust.

    Don't Click Stranger Links: Imagine getting a magic door, but only open doors from people you know. Don't click on web links from strangers, they might try to take your secrets!

    Be Careful Online: Just like you keep your secret toys safe, keep your information safe online. Don't tell strangers where you live or your phone number.

    Super Strong Passwords: Think of a secret code only you know, like a superhero! Use letters, numbers, and special signs. Keep it secret, like a hidden treasure.

    Update Your Gadgets: Like you wear a jacket to keep warm, gadgets need updates to stay safe from sneaky bugs.

    Protect your information like a superhero! Follow these simple steps:

    1. Always ask your grown-ups for help when sharing your information.

    4. Make your gadgets strong by updating them regularly.
