Cybersecurity
📋 What it is
Cybersecurity uses cryptography plus smart habits (strong passwords, caution with links) to keep data safe.
🗣️ Coach says
Cryptography is powerful, but people are the weak link. A strong lock is useless if you tape the key to the door. Good cybersecurity pairs encryption with smart habits: long passwords, not reusing them, and not clicking sketchy links.

Encryption is the lock; your habits (strong passwords, careful clicks) are the door.

What did the spy say when asked about their weekend?
"Sorry, that's classified!"
😲 Whoa!
The most common way hackers break in isn’t cracking encryption — it’s tricking a person into giving up their password (“phishing”). The human is the target, not the maths.
✅ Quick check: A site has perfect encryption but you use “1234” as your password. Are you safe?
Say your answer out loud first — then reveal.
No — a weak password defeats the strongest encryption; security needs good habits AND good crypto.
Encryption can’t protect you if the key (password) is easy to guess.

Check: is any password you use short or reused? A longer, unique passphrase is far stronger.
