The digital world comes with a vocabulary of its own and knowing these terms can help us better understand the risks that come with being online.
Pharming. Whaling. Vishing. Doxxing. Spoofing. These are some of the lesser-known forms of online deception and harm that children and adults may encounter while navigating the digital world.
Through our series, we are breaking down these terms in a simple and accessible way — helping children, parents and caregivers recognise what they may come across online and know when to pause and think twice.
Online safety is not only about knowing what to do when something goes wrong. It is also about being able to recognise the warning signs before we click, share, respond or trust.
