Scenarios in the quiz
Phishing is the most common way attacks start, because tricking a person is easier than breaking strong technology. The quiz covers the tricks people in India meet most often:
- Look-alike domains such as bank names with extra words or swapped letters.
- Urgency and fear: "KYC pending", "account blocked today".
- UPI and QR scams that ask for your PIN to "receive" money.
- OTP theft by phone, and remote-access apps from fake support.
- CEO fraud asking for gift cards or urgent transfers.
- Compromised friends sending links on Instagram or WhatsApp.
Scoring and staying safe
One mark per question with no negative marking, so a perfect run is 15 / 15; 12 correct is 80%. Every explanation gives one habit you can use immediately.
Three habits stop most phishing: check the real domain before clicking, never share an OTP or UPI PIN, and verify unusual requests through a channel you already trust. If you have already clicked, act fast: change the password everywhere you reused it, turn on MFA and tell your bank or IT team. In India you can report cyber fraud at cybercrime.gov.in or by calling 1930. Analyse a suspicious email properly with the email header analyzer, and share links safely with the URL defang tool. The quiz runs in your browser and stores nothing.
