A Workshop on Cyber Security was organised and this is what some students said:

Yashwani Class 7 - We got an opportunity to gain important information on cyber-crime on the 30th of October which was conducted by Cyber Security Awareness Team FI. I came to know that sharing any kind of online information can lead us into big trouble and the chances  of  misuse increases therefore we should we should not share our OTP , password etc. to anyone. The workshop turned out to be very interesting and informative. Thanks to our school and the cyber security team for sharing such an important information with us.

Kunal Class 7 - On the 30th of October workshop on cybercrime was conducted online by Cyber Security Awareness Team FI. The workshop was very informative and it made us aware that we should not share our data, password and OTP to anyone because these might be chances of viruses. We also came to know that anyone can track our profile picture from any of the application like Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram etc. and can track all the information about our hub. Overall this workshop was very helpful for us and we also became aware that we should not share any of the details like OTP, Password etc. any one.
