    DEVICE SECURITY

                     Device security means looking after your devices so no one can harm them or take
                     your information. Just like you lock your house door to keep it safe, you also need to

                     protect your devices from danger.

                                                                                                21 st

                                                          STAYING SAFE ONLINE

                      Neha, an 11-year-old from Delhi, was using her tablet to join a fun online quiz with
                      her friends. Suddenly, a pop-up appeared asking her to share her family’s home
                      address  and her  parents’  email  ID  to  “win  extra points.”  Neha typed  the details

                      quickly without asking her parents. A few hours later, her parents noticed suspicious
                      emails and unknown people trying to contact them.
                      Based on the above case, answer the following questions:

                      1.  What information did Neha share in the pop-up?

                      2.  What mistake did Neha make when she shared information online?

                     Types of Device Security

                     Some common types of device security are as follows:

                         Passwords and PINs: A password or PIN is like a secret
                         key.  It stops  strangers from opening  your device  or
                         accounts.  Always  make  it  hard to  guess and  keep  it

                         private.

                                                                                         Smart Devices and Family Safety  49
