Question 1 of 10

You receive an email from "IT Support" asking you to verify your password urgently. What should you do?

A Reply with your password immediately B Click the link and enter your credentials C Delete the email and report it to ARH IT (Ext. 560 / 939) D Forward it to a colleague

IT will never ask for your password via email. This is a classic phishing attack. Always report suspicious emails to ARH IT.

Question 2 of 10

What is "Quishing"?

A A type of phishing attack using phone calls B A phishing attack using malicious QR codes C Sending spam messages via WhatsApp D Hacking into Wi-Fi networks

Quishing = QR code phishing. Attackers replace legitimate QR codes with fake ones that redirect to malicious sites. Always preview the URL before tapping.

Question 3 of 10

You receive an urgent voice call from someone claiming to be your manager asking you to transfer funds immediately. What should you do?

A Transfer the funds — it sounds urgent B Ask for an email confirmation first C Hang up and call your manager back on their known number D Ask the caller for their employee ID

AI deepfakes can clone voices convincingly. Always hang up and verify by calling back on a number you already know.

Question 4 of 10

Which of these is the strongest password?

A Password123 B P@ssw0rd C BlueMango$Sky#River99 D 12345678

A long passphrase combining random words, numbers and symbols is far stronger. Use a password manager to keep track.

Question 5 of 10

What does MFA stand for and why is it important?

A Multiple File Access — it speeds up login B Multi-Factor Authentication — it adds a second layer of security beyond just a password C Managed Firewall Application — it protects the network D Manual File Archive — it backs up your data

MFA requires a second verification step in addition to your password. It blocks 99.9% of automated account attacks.

Question 6 of 10

You find a USB drive in the car park with a label saying "Payroll Q4". What should you do?

A Plug it in to find out who it belongs to B Take it home and check it on your personal computer C Hand it to ARH IT without plugging it in D Leave it where you found it

Unknown USB drives may contain malware that installs automatically when plugged in. Always hand unidentified USBs to ARH IT.

Question 7 of 10

How often should you lock your computer screen when stepping away from your desk?

A Only when leaving for the day B Every single time, no matter how briefly C Only when in a public area D When you remember to

Even a 30-second break is enough for someone to access your machine. Press Win+L (Windows) or Cmd+Ctrl+Q (Mac) every time.

Question 8 of 10

You get an email with an attachment you were not expecting. The sender looks legitimate. What do you do?

A Open it — the sender looks familiar B Open it only if it has a .pdf extension C Verify with the sender via a separate channel before opening D Forward it to colleagues to check

Attackers often spoof legitimate email addresses. Contact the sender via phone or a separate email to confirm before opening.

Question 9 of 10

What is ransomware?

A Software that speeds up your computer for a monthly fee B Malware that encrypts your files and demands payment to restore access C A type of antivirus that holds threats in quarantine D A cloud backup service

Ransomware locks your files and demands payment. The best defence is keeping software updated and avoiding suspicious attachments.

Question 10 of 10

A colleague calls and asks for your login credentials so they can access a file while you are away. What should you do?

A Share them — they are a trusted colleague B Share them only via WhatsApp, not email C Never share credentials — ask IT to grant them direct access instead D Share only your username, not your password

Never share credentials with anyone, including colleagues. Contact ARH IT to grant proper access permissions.
