Cyber Crime

Before you listen, think of the following:

1. Do you know what scamming and phishing is?
2. Have you ever received scamming / phishing letters or e-mails? What was your reaction?
3. What do you think: is this a serious offence? Why? / Why not?
4. What punishment should such thieves receive?




Watch, listen, and try to answer the following questions:
- What happened to the woman’s bank account?
- What do phishers do with your computer?
- Where would clicking a link lead you to?
- What does the new type of phishing scam do?

Information

Dear all,

The new school year approaches and currently the situation is as follows: I will be taking only two forms this year, meaning that I will not be at school that often.

You can find me on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday in room 221 or in the methodical cabinet. I'm not sure about the consultation hours yet, but definitely in the morning.
I will be adding them to the menu on the right for your convenience.

Wishing you all a happy start of the season and hope we will be able to improve our level of language knowledge :)
