*AWARENESS | SOCIAL MEDIA SAFETY FOR KIDS & TEENS*

Social media is fun for sharing photos, chatting with friends, and exploring interests, but it also has risks. Here’s how kids and teens can stay safe while using apps like Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, and Facebook.

1. Privacy First: Lock Down Your Accounts
• Set profiles to "Private" so only approved followers see your posts.
• Don’t accept friend requests from strangers—even if they seem nice or claim to know you.
• Turn off location tags so people can’t track where you live, go to school, or hang out.

2. Think Before You Post
• Once it’s online, it’s forever—even if you delete it. Screenshots can spread fast.
• Ask yourself: "Would I show this to my grandma or a teacher?" If not, don’t post it.
• Avoid posting personal details like your phone number, school name, or home address.

3. Beware of Fake Friends & Scams
• Some "followers" might be adults pretending to be kids. Never share secrets or photos with them.
• Don’t click on "free reward" links (e.g., "Get 1,000 coins for your game!"). They’re often scams or viruses.
• If someone pressures you to send nudes or meet up, tell a trusted adult immediately. This is never okay.

4. Handle Cyberbullying Like a Boss
• Block and report bullies, don’t argue with them.
• Save evidence (screenshots) before deleting hurtful comments.
• Talk to an adult if bullying won’t stop. You don’t have to deal with it alone.

5. Time Management = Less Stress
• Set limits (e.g., 1–2 hours/day) so social media doesn’t take over homework or sleep.
• Mute notifications during study time or family meals.
• Remember: Likes and comments don’t define your worth. Real life happens offline too.

For Parents
• Follow or "friend" your child (without embarrassing them).
• Discuss social media rules together—it works better than bans.
• Use built-in safety tools (e.g., Instagram’s "Restrict" mode or TikTok’s "Family Pairing").

*PROTECT YOURSELF FROM IDENTITY THEFT ON SOCIAL MEDIA*

In today’s digital world, social media has made it easy to stay connected—but it has also made it easier for criminals to steal our identity and use it for the wrong reasons. One of the most common and dangerous online crimes today is identity theft.

WHAT IS IDENTITY THEFT?

Identity theft happens when someone pretends to be you by creating a fake account using your name, photos, or other personal information without your permission. These fake accounts can be used to:
• Trick others into sending money
• Spread lies and false information
• Share embarrassing or inappropriate content
• Damage your reputation and relationships
The person whose identity is stolen might not even know that a fake account is out there pretending to be them—until it's too late.

WHY IS IDENTITY THEFT DANGEROUS?

When someone uses your identity:
• Your reputation is at risk. People may believe the fake account is really you.
• You might lose trust from family, friends, or colleagues.
• Others can be scammed in your name, and you could be blamed.
• Your safety and peace of mind can be affected, especially if the fake account is spreading false or harmful content.
Even if you are not the victim, someone close to you could be—and your actions could help stop the damage.

WHAT SHOULD YOU DO?

• Stay Alert: Look out for fake accounts using your name or photos. Ask your friends and family to do the same and alert you if they see anything suspicious.
• Report Fake Accounts: If you see a fake account pretending to be someone you know, report it immediately to the social media platform. Encourage others to report it too. The more reports, the quicker the account can be removed.
• Inform the Real Person: If you find a fake account of someone you know, let them know right away. They may not even know someone is using their identity.
• Keep Your Profile Secure: Use strong passwords and enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on your accounts.

FUNFACT | Think your password is enough? Think again.

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) is one of the most effective ways to protect your online accounts. It works by adding an extra layer of security. First, you enter your password (something you know), and then you confirm your identity with a second factor (something you have), like a code sent to your phone or an authentication app.

Studies show that 2FA can block up to 99.9% of automated cyber-attacks. That means even if someone gets hold of your password, they still can’t access your account without the second factor.

Setting up 2FA is simple and only takes a few minutes, but it adds a powerful defense against hackers. Whether it’s your email, social media, or banking account, enabling 2FA is a smart move to stay protected online.

Do it today — your future self will thank you.

SM TIPS | What is a Hashtag and Why Should You Use It?

Have you ever seen a word with the “ #” symbol in front of it, like , , or ? That’s called a hashtag.

A hashtag is a simple way to group and find posts on social media. It helps people join conversations, follow trends, and reach a wider audience.

Why Do People Use Hashtags?
Here are some common reasons why people use hashtags:

1. To Reach More People
Hashtags make your post show up when someone searches for that word. For example, if you post a photo of your garden and use , others who are interested in gardening may find your post—even if they don’t follow you.

2. To Join a Conversation
If everyone is talking about an event, news story, or campaign, they often use a common hashtag. Using it in your post adds your voice to the bigger discussion. For example, during events like , people share their thoughts, pictures, or support under the same tag.

3. To Organize Your Posts
You can create your own hashtag for a project, business, or cause. For example, a small business selling crafts might use . Clicking that hashtag shows all posts using it in one place.

4. To Support a Cause or Spread Awareness
Hashtags like or help spread important messages. When more people use the same hashtag, the message becomes louder and more visible.

5. To Stay Updated with Trends
Trending hashtags show what people are talking about right now. If you use trending hashtags in your post, more people might see and interact with it.

Tips for Using Hashtags
- Keep it short and clear – Use simple words without spaces, like or .
- Don’t overuse – Using too many hashtags can look messy. Just 1 to 5 relevant hashtags is enough.
- Use what fits – Only use hashtags that match your post, so people don’t get confused.

Hashtags are powerful tools on social media.

AWARENESS | Fake AI Tools Used to Spread Malware

Cybercriminals are tricking people into downloading fake versions of popular AI tools like ChatGPT, InVideo AI, NovaLeads, and others. These fake tools are actually malware designed to lock your files, damage your computer, or steal your information.

HERE’S WHAT’S HAPPENING
Fake websites are pretending to offer free access to well-known AI platforms. Some even promote themselves through ads or high search results to look legit. When users download these tools, they get malware instead of the real software. The malware can:
- Lock your files and demand ransom (like CyberLock and Lucky_Gh0$t ransomware)
- Make your computer unusable (with destructive malware like Numero)
- Steal your data and passwords (through malware like GRIMPULL, FROSTRIFT, and XWorm)

REAL CASES:
- A fake website novaleadsai[.]com offered a free version of a lead generation AI tool. What users actually downloaded was a ransomware that encrypted files and demanded $50,000 in Monero.

- Another fake installer for a "premium" ChatGPT version dropped Lucky_Gh0$t ransomware, hiding in a file named like a Microsoft program.

- A fake InVideo AI installer continuously ran a destructive program (Numero) that damaged the Windows display and made the machine useless.

A broader campaign used Facebook and LinkedIn ads to promote fake AI tools like Canva Dream Lab and Kling AI. Clicking these ads led to downloads of spy tools that could:
- Record keystrokes
- Steal login info
- Track your screen
- Send your data through secret channels

HOW TO STAY SAFE:
- Only download AI tools from their official websites (e.g., openai.com, invideo.io)
- Don’t trust ads or search results blindly – check the URL carefully
- Be careful with free trials or "too good to be true" offers
- Install and update your antivirus software
- If you accidentally download a suspicious file – don’t run it. Delete it immediately
- Back up your important files regularly

AWARENESS | Human Error: A Big Risk to Cyber Safety

Most of the problems we face online are not caused by hackers using advanced tools or big machines. Many times, it’s just simple mistakes made by people. These mistakes are called human errors, and they are one of the biggest risks to cyber safety today.

Let’s look at a few common examples:

USING WEAK PASSWORDS
One of the most common mistakes is using weak or easy passwords. People often choose passwords like “123456” or “password” because they are easy to remember. But these are also easy for hackers to guess. Once they break your password, they can get into your account and steal your information.

What to do: Use strong passwords that have a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols. Don’t use the same password for everything.

CLICKING ON FAKE LINKS
Sometimes we get emails or messages that look real, but they are not. These messages often ask us to click on a link. If we click without checking, we might end up on a fake website that steals our personal details.

What to do: Don’t click on links from people you don’t know. Always double-check the message or ask someone if you’re not sure.

OVERSHARING ON SOCIAL MEDIA
Many people love to share things online, like where they live, where they work, or where they’re going. But this kind of information can help scammers or criminals.

What to do: Be careful about what you share. If it’s private, it’s best to keep it off the internet.

IGNORING SOFTWARE UPDATES
Your phone, computer, and apps often ask you to update. These updates fix problems and protect your device. When we ignore them, we leave our devices open to attacks.

What to do: Don’t skip updates. Turn on automatic updates if possible.

NOT LOGGING OUT
Some people forget to log out of their email or social media accounts when they use public or shared computers. This can let others access your private messages or change your settings.

What to do: Always log out after using shared devices.

Did you know? There’s a way to protect yourself if someone shares your private images without your permission.

We’re not encouraging anyone to take or send nudes. But we do understand that sometimes it happens—and unfortunately, those private images can be shared or leaked without your consent. This is a serious form of online abuse called Non-Consensual Intimate Image (NCII) sharing.

*HELP IS AVAILABLE*
StopNCII.org is a free and secure online tool that can help stop the spread of these images.

*What is StopNCII.org?*
StopNCII.org is operated by the Revenge P**n Helpline, which is part of SWGfL, an international charity that believes that everyone should benefit from technology, free from harm, and is supported by safety organizations around the world. It lets you take action before or after an intimate photo or video is posted online without your consent.

*How does it work?*
- Go to https://stopncii.org/
- You’ll be asked to upload the private images only on your own device. These files do not leave your phone or computer.
- The site creates a special digital fingerprint (called a “hash”) of the images—not the image itself.
- This hash is sent to partner platforms like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and others.
If someone tries to upload or share the same image on those sites, it will be blocked before it goes public.

Use StopNCII.org here: https://stopncii.org

It’s never too late to take action. If you or someone you know is experiencing this kind of abuse, please share this message. Let's help keep the internet safer for everyone.
