During the mentoring session, detailed information was provided on types of cyber fraud. Specifically, fishing, personal information theft, social media fraud, malware, and cyberbullying were discussed. Students were given practical tips on how to prevent such threats, such as not clicking unknown links, not sharing personal information, and using strong passwords. The importance of civilized communication online, respect for other users, and compliance with the law were also emphasized. The event was interactive, with students actively participating, sharing their thoughts and asking questions. Real-life examples were used during the discussion, making the topic even more understandable. As a result, this educational hour significantly contributed to expanding students' knowledge of cybersecurity. Students understood that using the internet safely and correctly is everyone's responsibility. Similar events should be continued in the future, as cybersecurity is crucial for everyone in today's world.
