Three habits to remember

Read these, then answer 10 short workplace scenarios.

  1. Text messages can impersonate a familiar sender, even inside an existing conversation.

  2. A QR code carries information or a destination; its appearance is not a safety check.

  3. Use independently found contact details when a message asks for money or personal details.

Try it in real life

Practise opening a service from your own bookmark instead of a message link.

Optional. Don’t enter passwords, client records or other private details here.
