This first workshop is all about waking you up to the real risks out there — not with doom and gloom, but with a good dose of “Oi, pay attention!” Whether you think you’ve got nothing worth hacking or just assume you’re too small a fish to fry, think again. Hackers love the easy targets — and unfortunately, that’s usually the people who think they’re safe. This workshop strips things back to basics and shows you how cyber threats really work, using real-world stories, plain language, and just the right amount of sarcasm.
Across these ten bite-sized lessons, you’ll meet the different types of hackers (not all of them wear hoodies), see how scams are tailored to you, and learn why your nan, your neighbour, and even you (yes, you!) might be a hacker’s dream. From phishing emails that don’t look dodgy to how clicking “Accept All Cookies” can actually leave a trail of crumbs right back to your identity — this workshop gives you the street smarts you need to spot trouble before it spots you. No jargon. No fluff. Just the knowledge to stop yourself getting rinsed online.
