I can explain how and why it is important to always ensure someone makes safe and secure online payments.

I understand the benefits of two factor authentication and use it where available.

I can explain why backing up data is important and how this can be done.

I can explain why someone should use a strong and separate password for their email account, as the gateway to other online accounts.

I can recognise that devices can collect and share data about users with or without their knowledge or awareness, e.g. device usage including microphone, camera and geolocation.

I can explain why online services have terms and conditions that govern their use and give examples that illustrate how they impact on a user e.g. age restrictions.

I know that accessing some websites or services may increase the risk of encountering viruses and other types of malware.

I can demonstrate ways in which someone can change their browser settings to make their online browsing more secure (e.g. cookie permissions, do-not-track-me, password storage, incognito).

I can explain app permissions and analyse them to make informed choices on which apps to use.

I can explain how the security of devices connected to the internet may be compromised e.g. webcams, monitors, phones or toys. I can demonstrate actions people can take to minimise such compromise (e.g. covering cameras on computers when not in use).

Oracle

I can identify choices and demonstrate strategies to control the personal data online services hold.

I can explain why it’s important to know how to recover a device or account if it gets compromised / hacked.

I can explain that hacking can have legal consequences.

I know who people can report to if they have experienced a cyber problem (e.g. identity theft, ransomware).
