  • People wrote and checked every lesson. Nothing on the site is generated by an AI, and no AI talks to your child here.
  • Progress is saved only in the browser on the device your child uses. It is never sent to us.
  • Contact with us happens only if your child, or you, chooses to write through the contact page.

Five habits worth keeping at home

These are the same lines your teenager reads in the cybersecurity course. They work for the whole family.

  1. 1Turn on MFA wherever it is offered, starting with your email.
  2. 2Switch on auto-update on your phone, computer, apps, browser and home router.
  3. 3Every so often restore a file or two from your backup and confirm they open.
  4. 4Before acting on a sensitive request made over video or phone, hang up and call back on a number you already have.
  5. 5Pick a family safe word today and make sure everyone who might be called knows it.

One thing to talk about at dinner

Every one of these scams needs you to accept a claim of identity without checking and to act fast, so one habit defeats them all.

The habits come from the cheat-sheets for modules 02 and 06 of the cybersecurity course. Questions: codeforalbania.com/en/kontakt
