Security vulnerabilities
Hey there little kiddo! Today we are going to learn about something called "security vulnerabilities".
Now imagine you have a special toy that you really love and you don't want anyone else to play with it or take it away from you. So, you keep it hidden somewhere safe. But what if somebody finds out where you hide it or figures out how to get inside your safe spot? That would not be good, wouldn’t it?
Well, the same thing can happen with important things on the internet, like your mommy’s and daddy’s important files or your favorite website. Sometimes bad guys can try to find hidden ways to enter the files or the website and steal important information or harm it. These hidden ways, or "security vulnerabilities," are like secret doors or weaknesses in the safe spot that nobody should know about.
Just like how you can protect your toy by keeping it hidden and safe, websites and files also need to be protected so nobody can mess with them. People who work with computers and internet things can find these security vulnerabilities and fix them, but bad guys can also find them and try to use them to do bad things. So, it's important for everyone to be careful and make sure that everything is safe and secure!
