Overview

Social media is one of the most actively exploited attack surfaces in modern cybersecurity - and most people don't see it coming. This course places learners inside decision-based scenarios that simulate real-world pressure, conditioning them to recognise and respond to phishing attempts, AI-powered scams, identity theft, malicious QR codes, oversharing risks, and supply-chain attacks that can compromise both personal and organisational data.
