Storyline

Protect yourself and your environment against online danger. You can do a lot of things on the internet, both good and bad. But how do you know if something is good or bad? That can be quite difficult. So difficult that even adults don't always know. That's why HackShield is looking for Cyber Agents who learn what is what and can protect themselves and their surroundings against online danger.
