                     DAILY LIFE IN THE CYBER SECURE WORLD

                     Cybersecurity is not just for experts; it is a part of our everyday life. From online classes and
                     gaming to social media and banking, every digital step requires safe habits. Let’s follow Arjun and
                     his family through a day in their cyber secure world.

                     7:30 AM: Good Morning, Digital World!
                     Arjun’s mom needs to send money to his aunt. She
                     opens her banking app on her phone. Before she logs
                     in, a pop-up suddenly appears asking for her PIN.

                     She immediately remembers what Arjun taught her:
                     Banking  apps never ask for PIN or password
                     through pop-ups or messages.

                     Realising it might be a phishing attempt or malware,
                     she closes the pop-up, opens the banking app directly,
                     logs in securely, and completes the transaction.

                                             Lesson 1: Keep your passwords and PINs secret!

                                                                                                   A Modern Necessity  13
