Description

A four-session high school unit on the law side of cybersecurity — no code, nothing to install, and no technical background needed to teach it.

Nadia Farrow's online tutoring company holds the names, grades, and payment details of 2,000 families. One employee reuses a password, an attacker gets in, and everything that follows is a legal question: was it a crime, which law covers which data, who must be told and how fast, and what did the privacy policy actually promise these families?

The unit ends with your student marking up a real-format privacy policy and finding what it genuinely permits — the session parents tend to remember as much as their student does.
