Possible results
Needs Improvement 🧯
Your results suggest that some key everyday cybersecurity habits may be inconsistent or unclear. You may be at higher risk of falling for common scams or making decisions that unintentionally expose your data.
Safety tip: Before you click, download, or log in, pause and verify the source (check the sender, look for urgency tactics, and use official websites/apps directly).
Good 👍
You demonstrated a solid baseline understanding of several core security practices. You likely recognize some safe choices, but there are still gaps in how to respond to high-risk situations (like phishing attempts, public Wi‑Fi, or verification codes).
Safety tip: Use multi-factor authentication and never share one-time verification codes—treat them as private even if the request looks “official.”
Excellent 🏆
You show strong knowledge of practical cybersecurity habits, including safer password practices, data privacy, and how to reduce exposure to malware and phishing.
Safety tip: Keep backups of important files in a separate location and make a habit of getting software only from official sources to reduce malware risk.
