What should you do if you receive a link that looks strange (for instance, it may have typos in it) from your friend Elliot?
It's someone you know so it's got to be safe, click on it.
Contact them and ask them if the link you've received was sent on purpose. But if they don't respond shortly after, just click on it. It's probably fine.

William and Cooper are using unsecured public Wi-Fi at a coffee shop. Can this make them vulnerable to predatory practices?
True
False
Answer explanation
If you must use it, avoid entering compromising information, like your Social Security number or financial information, on any websites. Better yet, use a VPN, or virtual private network, to do your browsing when you're not at home. This will encrypt the data you send and receive, making it much harder to intercept.

Annabelle regularly backs up her data to avoid becoming a victim of ransomware. Is this a good practice?
True
False
Answer explanation
When you back up your data, you can make certain kinds of security breaches less problematic. If a hacker encrypts your data and demands a ransom to unencrypt it, it's not going to be that big of a deal if you backed it up a week ago.

Before Carson purchases anything on a website, he should ensure that the website's URL starts with http://
True
False
Answer explanation
The "s" at the end is critical, because it indicates that your connection is encrypted. Don't purchase anything from a website that doesn't have this. Also, you should think twice about saving your financial information to websites you buy from, even if you shop with them frequently. Storing your information on their site could make it easier for hackers to access in the event that company's website or network suffers a data breach.
