    11:00 AM: Online Class Adventure

                      During his online class, Arjun’s friend Rohan sends him a link to a free
                      game  promising 1000  coins.  The link looks  strange, filled with random
                      characters and numbers. Arjun thinks:
                      This doesn't look like a trusted website.

                      He does not click on it and warns Rohan that such links can install malware,
                      steal personal data, or hack accounts.

                                          Lesson 2: Be careful of suspicious links and downloads!

                                                                   4:00 PM: Gaming Time!

                                                                   Arjun  is  playing  his  favourite  online  game  with his
                                                                   friends. A new player  joins  and starts  asking  for
                                                                   personal information like his full name, school name,
                                                                   and home location. Arjun recalls the cyber safety rule:

                                                                   "Never share personal information with strangers
                                                                   online."

                                                                   He refuses to share anything and reports the unknown
                                                                   player to the game moderator/reporting system.

                                        Lesson 3: Don't share personal details with strangers online!

                      8:00 PM: The Social Media Story
                      Arjun’s elder  sister,  Gaurvi, is creating  a new social

                      media  profile.  Before  posting  her first  picture,  Arjun
                      reminds her to turn on:
                          Privacy settings

                          Profile visibility: Private

                          Only friends can see posts
                          Two-factor authentication (2FA) for extra security

                      This ensures that only people she knows and trusts can
                      see her posts and pictures.

                                     Lesson 4: Set privacy settings to private on all social media apps!
