The risks are real: in 2024, people reported $12.5B in consumer fraud losses (up 25% year-over-year), with text-message scams alone costing $470M. The FBI logged 859,532 internet-crime complaints and $16.6B in reported losses, while the human element—phishing, social engineering, missteps—was present in ~68% of breaches. Global damage from cybercrime is projected to reach $10.5T annually by 2025.This course turns those headlines into action. You’ll start by locking down devices and accounts with strong passwords and passphrases, two-factor authentication (2FA), screen locks, updates, and safe use of shared devices. We demystify phishing, smishing, and social engineering so you can practice real-world scam prevention—spotting red flags, responding decisively, and reporting incidents. You’ll master safer browsing habits—recognising trustworthy sites, handling cookie and permission prompts—and you’ll take control of data privacy on social platforms. Finally, you’ll build reliable backups and learn secure wipe techniques to prevent data loss or unauthorised access.Next, manage your health online—confidently and securely. Using universal, vendor-neutral steps, you’ll register for patient/clinic portals, book appointments, request prescription refills, and access online health records. You’ll learn how to evaluate health information sources and find nearby services, all while protecting personal data. Every workflow is broken into clear actions with checklists and quick wins so you can complete essential tasks independently.Then you’ll level up your money skills.
