Activity 2

What is in a name?

Digital tools and systems have a language and specialist vocabulary all their own. There are lots of jargon and acronyms in use and a lot of these are related to security and staying safe online, so it’s very important that we can understand them.

In this activity, I will read out a technology term e.g. ‘phishing’, and ask for a definition of it and a suggested measure we can take to safeguard ourselves.

1) Phishing

2) Snarfing

3) Virus

4) Trojan Horse

5) Spam

6) Oversharing

7) Cyberbullying

8) Ransomware

9) Eavesdropping
