The danger of cyber attacks is growing. As the world becomes digital in virtually everything – work, school, meetings, family gatherings – new opportunities arise for attackers.

Cyber Crime Time creates awareness of the dangers of cyber threats by placing you in the shoes of a hacker. You will learn about the most common attack techniques, how they work, and how to protect against them: From simple social engineering scams like phishing to more sophisticated cyber security attacks like ransomware attacks or other malware designed to steal intellectual property or personal data.

You will see that the best way to protect yourself from hackers is to temporarily become one.

Nobody wants to read a book about cyber security. You want to understand the basic principles and how they apply to your day-to-day life. Security awareness should be fun — not just another boring training session that you will forget a few hours later. Cyber Crime Time uses game design techniques like storytelling and a playful environment to draw you into the topic.
