Cyber Defense Force

Students learn to identify phishing scams to protect a planetary defense system from hacker infiltration.

The crew is briefed on a critical planetary firewall update that temporarily exposes the system to hacker attacks. To prepare, they’ll undergo a crash course on phishing tactics, learning to identify fraudulent emails, suspicious links, and fake websites. Working as a team, they’ll analyze incoming messages to determine which are safe and which are threats, using the S.T.O.P. method to make their decisions. Their ability to detect phishing scams will determine whether they successfully defend the system or leave it vulnerable to infiltration.
