    Quiz 1: I am vulnerable - I would report online issues to the police and don't know how many people play games online. Are these really issues?
    More seriously I gave my real age; I should have lied.


    Quiz 3:
    Two websites I have never heard of and I have to choose which one to trust? Surely this question provides too little to go on. [ok, so I pick https, but this is not enough]

    "Wireless worries" - correct answer is b, use encryption, but the quiz only accepts d, which is encryption plus unnecessary complexity.


    Both quizzes have an issue with describing firewalls - a good firewall should allow outsiders to connect to your computer over the internet if this is desired, and should stop your own PC sending unwanted traffic out to the internet
  • I scored 90%, I just didn't answer where to report online fraud to. Surely that in itself doesn't make me vulnerable?
  • I'm just waiting for my newly-acquired Nigerian friend to email me the answers. All he wanted in return was my date of birth and passport number.
