We had the pleasure of hosting the Digital Ninja team, organized by Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC) at CCoE, Malaysia! This #DigitalNinja initiative trains students on digital projects and prepares them for competitions. We started the day by taking them down memory lane with a look at the iconic BlackBerry mobile phones. Next, we played the Whisper Game, which had everyone laughing as messages hilariously twisted, emphasizing how online information can get distorted. Our cybersecurity trainer, Nur Huda Athirah Abd Latib, then led an engaging and interactive cybersecurity awareness training session, where students eagerly participated and won prizes for their quiz knowledge. It was fantastic to see a strong turnout of female students, which is incredibly encouraging! By the end of the visit, the students left with a solid grasp of cybersecurity basics. We wish them all the best in their upcoming competition! Han Ther L. Jaclyn Sim Gustav Brunner Ezzah Khan Noorfadilah Kamarulzaman #bbccoe #DigitalNinja #mdec #cybersecurityawareness
