Word scramble
Unscramble the letters and write each key term on the line.
1
AOMM.TTRFN(HOOL.ARDAMH() * N)
Gives a random whole number from 0 up to n - 1. Math.random() gives a decimal from 0 up to 1, times n stretches it, and Math.floor rounds down. Add 1 to start at 1.
2
LIHWE (USGSE !== ECSRET)
The heart of a guessing game: keep asking for guesses until the guess equals the random secret number, using if/else if for too high or too low and a counter for the number of guesses.
3
YCEBR YICETRUS
The protection of digital systems, accounts and data from attack, damage and unauthorised access, such as keeping accounts, files and devices safe.
4
KCTTAREA IVETOM
The reason an attacker targets accounts and data: they can be used or sold for money, identity theft or disruption, such as stealing cash, taking over social accounts or selling data.
5
AERSP IGHNPHIS
A phishing message aimed at one person or group that uses details like your name or school, or pretends to be a friend or teacher, to look more believable than mass phishing.
6
OTREPR HTEN EDELET
For a suspected phishing message, do not click or reply. Report it to a trusted adult or the school, then delete it. If you clicked, change your password and tell an adult.
7
SSAPERHSPA
A long password made of several unrelated words, like three or four random words. It is easy to remember but hard to guess. Add a number or symbol and avoid words linked to you.
8
OSDWSARP AGAEMNR
An app that stores and fills in all your passwords for you, locked behind one strong master passphrase. It can make random passwords and autofill them only on the right site.
