01 / Cyberhygiene

Cyberhygiene library

Start with a situation you want to understand. Each lesson includes the mechanism, actions, a learning example, limits and a primary source.

Phishing: links, messages and QR codes

Check a request to sign in before following its link.

Explore the topic 02

Passwords and account recovery

Keep credentials separate so one leaked password does not unlock other accounts.

Explore the topic 03

Second factors and confirmation codes

Extra sign-in verification helps when you do not approve someone else’s action.

Explore the topic 04

Passkeys: personal or shared device?

A passkey lets you confirm sign-in through a device. Before saving one, consider who else can use that device.

Explore the topic 05

Phones, apps and updates

Check available updates and your model’s support period separately.

Explore the topic 06

Website addresses and safer sign-in

Check the complete address. HTTPS does not establish that a site owner is honest.

Explore the topic 07

Fake support and “safe accounts”

Stop a call that pressures you to share a code or move money for “protection”.

Explore the topic 08

Remote access and screen sharing

Help installing software may turn into handing over control of your device.

Explore the topic 09

Investment bait online

Separate checking the sender from evaluating the financial offer.

Explore the topic 10

Documents, signatures and personal data

Check who requests a document, why they need it and how to send it.

Explore the topic 11

Who can open the file?

Sending a link in a private message does not by itself restrict access to the file.

Explore the topic 12

If you already shared data

End the contact and seek help. Reporting a mistake matters more than hiding it.

Explore the topic 13

Backups and recovery

A sync badge does not prove that a lost file can be recovered. Check your recovery path in advance.

Explore the topic 14

Access without your usual phone

Plan a fallback sign-in route and distinguish it from someone asking for your code.

Explore the topic 15

Passing on an old phone

Keep the data and sign-in routes you need before preparing your particular model for handover.

Before you sign in

A personal action list, not a device security assessment. Checks are not stored or submitted.

I open the service independently, not from an unexpected linkI checked the full address and do not bypass browser warningsI use a trusted, updated device with a screen lockI approve only my own actions and share no codesI know an independent official contact if unsure
