WarXing

Warxing is a big word that means something bad that can happen when people use the internet on their computer or phone. Just like how we use the internet to play games or watch videos, some people use it for not-so-good things like stealing information or breaking into other people's computer things.

Now, when someone does this, they can leave behind something called a "trace". This trace can show other people where they have been on the internet and what they have done. It's like leaving behind a trail of breadcrumbs so people can follow it and find out where you've been.

This is where warxing comes in. It's when people use these traces to find out where someone else has been on the internet or what they have been doing. It's not a good thing to do because it's like someone following you and watching everything you do.

So, it's important to be careful when using the internet and make sure your computer and phone are protected so that people can't warx you. Always use strong passwords and don't click on things that look suspicious. And if you think someone is warxing you, tell a grown-up right away so they can help you.
