"When TechCrush Tutors finally explain the concept you've been struggling with for weeks... it's like a lightbulb moment so bright, you might need sunglasses! 🕶️💡 #TechCrush#Tech4Africans
Ever received a message that looked like it came from your bank, a friend, or a company you trust, only to find out it wasn’t actually them?
Spoofing is when someone disguises their identity or information to make you think they’re a trusted person, website, email address, or device.
The scary part? It can look very convincing.
So before you click that link, reply to that message, or share sensitive information, take a second to verify who’s actually on the other side.

Did you know that CAPTCHA wasn’t created just to annoy you? 😂
Every time you’re asked to select traffic lights, type a few distorted letters, or click “I’m not a robot,” there’s a reason behind it.
CAPTCHA was originally created to help websites tell humans apart from bots and prevent automated programs from carrying out certain actions online.
So yes, that tiny test you sometimes struggle with is actually doing a job. 🤖
Tech is everywhere, even in the little things we barely notice.

This isn’t just another cohort. It’s the 10th and trust it to be bigger and better.

Future Cohort 10, are you ready? 👀
Esther came to TechCrush to learn Project Management, but she left with so much more. 🥹
From stepping out of her comfort zone to putting down the tools and actually getting involved, her TechCrush journey pushed her to do things she probably wouldn’t have done before.
And now, looking at where she is today, she’s grateful she took that step. ❤️
This is exactly why we do what we do.
Sometimes, you just need the right environment to challenge you, push you, and remind you that you’re capable of more.
We’re so proud of you, Esther. Keep going!

Your career doesn’t have to make sense all at once.
Ryan McInerney’s journey from consulting, to banking, to leading global businesses at @Visa is a reminder that growth happens one step at a time.
So if you’re learning a new tech skill, building experience, or still figuring out where you fit, keep going. The role you have today doesn’t have to be the role you end up with.
Every skill you learn and every opportunity you take is building towards something.

Seeing the 🔒 or “HTTPS” in a website address doesn’t automatically mean the website is trustworthy.
HTTPS helps protect the connection between you and the website, but it doesn’t tell you whether the website itself is legitimate.
So before you enter your password, card details, or personal information, look beyond the padlock. 👀
Stay curious. Stay safe online.

You may not have everything figured out yet, and that’s okay.
Put in the effort to explore, learn, try new things, and figure out what works for you. Give yourself room to change your mind and take a different path when you need to.
Keep looking. Don’t settle.
