The examples of cyberbullying are:

                      Emotionally hurting others by making fun of them on a public platform.
                      Sending inappropriate e-mail or text messages to insult or harass others.
                      Posting photos of others on public websites or social media without their consent.
                      Sending threatening messages and blackmailing individuals.
                  Measures to Stop Cyberbullying

                  To protect yourself from becoming a victim of cyberbullying, you can take the following measures:

                      Be cautious when sharing private information online, as it can be accessed by people with
                     malicious intentions.
                      Avoid disclosing personal details like your address, phone number, or school name to unknown

                     individuals online.
                      Be careful about what you share and who you share it with, especially on social media.

                      Regularly review and update your privacy settings on social networking sites to control who
                     can see your posts.
                      Speak up against cyberbullying and seek help from trusted adults, such as parents, teachers,

                     or school counsellors.
                  Phishing

                  Phishing is a cybercrime where an email, falsely claiming to be from a trusted organisation, is
                  sent to a user. This email usually contains a link to a fraudulent website. When users click the
                  link, they are prompted to enter sensitive information such as credit card details, passwords, and
                  usernames. This fraudulent activity can lead to significant financial loss and theft of personal
                  confidential information.
                  Measures to Avoid Phishing


                  Some of the measures that we can take to avoid phishing are as follows:
                      Be cautious of emails from unknown senders, especially those asking for personal details.
                      While doing online transactions, look for a lock icon sign at the address bar of the browser
                     window that states that the site is secure.

                      Protect your computer with a Firewall, Anti-virus, and Anti-Spyware Software.
                  Hacking

                  Hacking refers to unauthorised attempts to access a computer system to either destroy it or steal
                  important data. Hackers are individuals who breach computer systems for malicious purposes.
                  Measures to Avoid Hacking

                  To protect  your  computer  and  Internet  connection from unauthorised  access, follow these
                     practices:

                      Set strong, unique passwords for your Wi-Fi network and devices, and change them regularly.
                      Keep your operating system and software updated to defend against security vulnerabilities.
                      Avoid connecting unfamiliar devices (like USBs) to your computer.
