Mini Project Part 3: Build a Phishing Awareness Checklist

Relax. We'll talk through this in plain words — no textbook voice.

What you'll walk away with

  • Understand Mini Project Part 3: Build a Phishing Awareness Checklist without any of the intimidation
  • Apply this concept right away in real-world scenarios
  • Get comfortable avoiding security risks for yourself and the people around you

Let's think about this for a second

The value of an awareness checklist isn't a technical solution — it's being a 'quick reference' you can check the moment an email or message lands in your inbox, made of short, actionable items. You'll pull together everything you've learned throughout this tutorial — phishing red flags, social engineering patterns, password/2FA best practices — into one single reference document.

Let's connect this to a real scenario

Fit your checklist onto a single A4 page, split into 3 sections — 'Before you click' (sender/URL check), 'Before you share info' (password/2FA request verification), and 'If you already clicked' (password change, account check, report to IT/bank). Try sharing it in a family group chat or an office team channel.

Let's look at this together

Phishing Awareness Checklist
------------------------------
Before you click:
  [ ] Sender email domain ကို အသေးစိတ်ကြည့်ပြီးပြီလား
  [ ] Link URL ကို hover/long-press စစ်ပြီးပြီလား

Before you share info:
  [ ] Urgent request ကို official channel ကနေ verify ပြီးပြီလား
  [ ] Password/2FA code ကို ဘယ်သူ့ကိုမှ မပေးရ

If you already clicked:
  [ ] Password ချက်ချင်းပြောင်း
  [ ] Account activity စစ်
  [ ] IT/bank ကို report
You should see
A one-page, shareable phishing awareness checklist.

Try it in 5 minutes

Share the checklist you wrote in a family group chat or with a colleague, and see if you get any feedback.

A quick word of caution

Don't treat this checklist as 'write it once and you're done' — as new attack techniques appear, you'll need to keep updating it.

Easy traps

  • Writing the checklist too long or too technical — it should be short and simple so it works as a quick reference
  • Creating the checklist but never actually sharing it with family or your team

Now try it yourself

Share the checklist you wrote in a family group chat or with a colleague, and see if you get any feedback.

You'll know it worked when: A one-page, shareable phishing awareness checklist.
