Almost everything we do now is digital: banking, bills, shopping, government services, and staying in touch with family and friends. That convenience comes with risk. Do you struggle with passwords that are hard to remember, easy to mix up, or constantly need resetting?
This session explains, in clear and practical language, how modern scams work, why ordinary people are targeted, and what simple steps you can take to protect yourself. We’ll cover safer ways to manage passwords, how to spot scam messages and calls, what to do immediately if something goes wrong, and how tools like multi-factor authentication can quietly protect you in the background.
