The Internet Security Quizze

Woah! This email is asking you for your personal information, not to mention account information, AND social security number. The legitimate Google Inc. will NEVER send an email asking you for this.

Files that you don't know where it came from, or who created it could be a red flag for malware. The rest of the answers is like cake, a lie.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act allows you to ask and receive one free credit report every 12 months from the three nationwide credit reporting companies. With that in mind, talking to your printer is not only just plain silly, it won't give you your credit report.

I'm sorry. Did I just throw a difficult question right in the beginning? Don't worry though, this question isn't graded. (But if you got this one right, I would be impressed.)

You should look at the programs EULA. If you can't understand it, it may be bundling malicious software. On the other hand, user reviews may just be there to praise the software. And no, I can't exactly determine if that one program is spyware.

Too bad, you are not allowed to. But if you said "Nah," that's good. You're determined to finish this quiz.

The fact that your magazine subscription has expired is not a sign of identity theft because it is a normal occurrence that can happen to anyone. On the other hand, not receiving any bills from your creditor and having unknown credit cards that you didn't sign up for are both indicators of possible identity theft. These situations suggest that someone may have gained unauthorized access to your personal information and is using it for fraudulent activities. It is important to monitor your financial statements and credit reports regularly to identify any suspicious or unauthorized transactions.

Your legitimate ISP needs reason to have you click on that link. The others don't present a red flag. (Though you should bow to me right now. :3)

The statement is true because forwarding any spam emails to [email protected] is a recommended action to take. This email address is provided by the U.S. government's Federal Trade Commission (FTC) for reporting and forwarding spam emails. By doing so, individuals can help the authorities track down and take action against spammers, ultimately contributing to reducing the amount of spam in circulation and protecting others from potential scams or fraudulent activities.

Ha! I just RICK ROLL'D YOU! LOL! I AM A TROLL! I WIN!

Look at the term spyware. SPYware. This malicious program is here to take your information, and it is a digital malicious program, therefore, it will NOT respect privacy, or do any physical inconvenience.

I know that you are NOT an idiot. Still, don't hit me for asking a ridiculous question like that.

Knowing the identity, address, and phone number ensures that you can contact that company so that you can't trust it. If that company refuses to provide any of these, you shouldn't trust them.

The answer includes three potential fraudulent spam messages. The first message is asking for credit card information under the pretense of assisting with a compromised bank account, which is a common phishing tactic. The second message is offering assistance for a foreclosed home, but it requires a small payment upfront, which is suspicious. The third message promises a "whole bunch of free gifts" for just $1.00, which is likely a scam as it is too good to be true.

How are you supposed to tell what to write in there? Obviously, this question is messing with you.
