How to Help a Hacker Steal Your Data
Hackers don’t just need to be tech geniuses—they also need you to slip up. In this fun, interactive session, we’ll lift the lid on how cybercriminals take advantage of everyday habits, trust, and small mistakes to get what they want.
From dodgy emails to careless passwords, you’ll see just how easy it is for them to grab your data—and what you can do to stop them. It’s light-hearted, eye-opening, and packed with simple tips to help you stay one step ahead.
Because if you’re not careful, you might just make a hacker’s day.
