Smart phones have revolutionized as a portable personal computer, a camera, and connection to the world using social media through apps like Instagram, Snap Chat, and TikTok. Smart phones have also made it sadly possible for many crimes to spread, such as online fraud, extortion, exploitation, and harassment.
“We in Silicon Valley are in unique place to help create technology and fight against tech crime,” DA Rosen said. “I want high school students to join me in raising awareness about smartphone cybercrime and help our community members stay safe from online crime.”
All Santa Clara County high school students are invited to submit their original work by Monday, January 13, 2025. Winners will be announced on Friday, January 31, 2025 on the District Attorney’s website and Facebook page.
