Audio Script

Section 1: Multiple Choice

Audio Script:

Specialist: Good afternoon! How can I help you today?

Customer: Hi, I’m really concerned about my online safety. There have been so many news reports about data breaches lately.

Specialist: That’s a very valid concern. Data breaches can be quite damaging. Are you worried about any specific aspect, like phishing emails or malware?

Customer: Mostly about data breaches. I’ve heard they can lead to identity theft.

Specialist: Absolutely. To protect yourself, start with creating strong passwords. Make sure they’re a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols.

Customer: I see. What about two-factor authentication? Is it really necessary?

Specialist: Yes, it’s essential. Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security to your accounts by requiring a second form of verification.


Section 2: Matching

Audio Script:

Lecturer: Today, we’ll discuss various cybersecurity threats. First, phishing is a method where attackers disguise themselves as trustworthy entities to obtain sensitive information like usernames, passwords, and credit card details. Next, ransomware is a type of malware that encrypts the victim’s files and demands payment for the decryption key. Spyware is another threat, which secretly monitors user activity, collecting data without their knowledge. Lastly, a Distributed Denial of Service, or DDoS attack, involves flooding a server with excessive traffic, causing it to crash.


Section 3: Short Answer

Audio Script:

Interviewer: Welcome, Dr. Smith. Can you give us some tips on how to protect our personal information online?

Dr. Smith: Absolutely. First, avoid sharing personal details like your full name, address, and phone number on social media. Second, use a Virtual Private Network, or VPN, to secure your internet connection, especially on public Wi-Fi. A common sign of a phishing email is a sense of urgency, like claiming your account will be locked unless you act immediately. Lastly, make sure to update your passwords regularly, at least every few months.


Section 4: Sentence Completion

Audio Script:

Speaker: Recognizing and avoiding online scams is crucial for online safety. Scammers often create a sense of urgency to make you act quickly without thinking. Always check for a secure connection, indicated by “https” in the website’s URL, before entering personal information. Be cautious of emails from unknown sources, as they might be phishing attempts. Lastly, using up-to-date antivirus software can help detect and prevent online threats effectively.
