Be Cyber Aware. Know Thyself.
There is only one real Single Point of Failure in Cyber Security — YOU.
Not hackers. Not trackers. Not phishers, spammers, or scammers.
You.
About This Course
Cyber Security Stories: Because of You! is not a traditional technical cyber security course. It is a story-driven awareness experience designed to change how you think, click, trust, and behave online.
This course assumes zero cybersecurity knowledge and focuses on one thing only: awareness.
Through short stories, real-world incidents, and simple explanations, you will understand how everyday online behavior silently exposes your data — often without you realizing it.
The Core Idea
When offered a choice between:
- 🕺 Dancing pigs (amusing graphics, convenience, instant gratification)
- 🔐 Security warnings and caution
Most users choose the dancing pigs.
This is known as the Dancing Pig Problem.
Sometimes it’s as small as a harmless popup.
Sometimes it’s as big as a global breach like the Twitter hack.
This course helps you recognize and solve that problem.
