In order to stop a cyber criminal, it can help to think like one. Your challenge is to break into Strathclyde Bank. This activity gives learners the experience of working as an ethical hacker.
Learners will find a way to remotely connect and log into the Strathclyde Bank website using stolen customer details and transfer the money to our own secret bank account.
Working together you’ll “steal” money from the bank. A massive on-screen totaliser counts up how much money participants have managed to steal over the course of MozFest.
No technical knowledge is needed, just a modern web browser.

We're hoping that many efforts and discussions will continue after Mozfest. Share any ideas you already have for how to continue the work from your session.:After MozFest we will make all the resources and tools from this activity available for others to use. We need more people who can help protect and defend a healthy internet. By encouraging people to run the same session in their own schools or community groups we hope to introduce more young people to the area in a fun and safe way.
How will you deal with varying numbers of participants in your session?:We are proposing this as an asynchronous activity so capacity is not an issue.
