The message looks convincing.
A familiar-looking lure is enough to pull one Ranger into a mistake without making that Ranger foolish.

What happens when a message looks trusted, sounds right and still cannot be trusted?
The Rangers already know that suspicious links can hide a trap. But this time the danger is harder to spot: messages can carry familiar names, real information and convincing identities.
As false messages spread through the Relay and trust begins to break down, Kai, Maya, Jax, Zara and Finn must learn to verify what they see without turning suspicious of everyone around them.
Question the message. Check the source. Verify another way.
Book 2 pushes the Rangers beyond spotting an obvious fake. The challenge is learning how to verify a message when its sender identity, details and timing all seem believable.
A familiar-looking lure is enough to pull one Ranger into a mistake without making that Ranger foolish.
False messages can copy a trusted identity, spreading confusion even when some of the information inside them is real.
The safest route is not asking the suspicious message whether it is real. It is checking with the real person another way.
The Phishing Pirates are a story threat first, with the cyber lesson emerging naturally from the mystery.
Question unusual messages, check the source and verify with the real person through a separate trusted route.
Phishing, impersonation, urgency, trusted identities, independent verification and asking for help when unsure.
Book 2 expands the DigiRealm into the Relay, where messages, identities and trust itself become part of the adventure.
Attack of the Phishing Pirates is available now in paperback and Kindle edition on Amazon Australia.
Catch up on the first case, then follow the Rangers deeper into the DigiRealm in Book 2.
