黑料网

Welcome to the inaugural Cybersecurity Awareness Month at 黑料网! We have a whole host of things planned to engage with the campus community to raise awareness about online safety. Each week has a specific theme with content, quests, and puzzles surrounding it.

Keep an eye on the Raider Roundup, Raider Review, and Tech Tip Tuesdays/Canvas Announcements for articles, tasks and puzzles. Join us every Thursday for Office Hours and free popcorn! Be sure to check the Leaderboard below to see who our Top 5 Bug Hunters are!

Every week we will have a new task to complete and a new logic puzzle for you to solve. Your answers can be brought to the IT Help Desk or submitted to cybermonth@msoe.edu.
