Stylized cybersecurity propaganda poster featuring a stern blonde woman in a black bunny suit holding a dripping, corrupted computer chip glowing green. She stands against a dark, circuit-patterned background. Bold text below reads: “SANITIZE YOUR SOFTWARE — Verify your third-party drivers. Fix the system from the inside out.” The image mixes pin-up aesthetics with serious cyber hygiene messaging.

A purple background with a circular white dotted pattern surrounding a pixelated skull and crossbones symbol in the center. The text “DC 916” is prominently displayed in bold, graffiti-style white font across the center of the image. The combination of edgy text and the skull-and-crossbones symbol suggests a rebellious or subversive theme, fitting for a digital or hacker culture aesthetic.

A screenshot of a fundraising message from the Cyber Security Club at UC Davis. The message explains that the club has been selected to receive a $5,000 donation from the Dean’s Executive Committee within the College of Engineering during UC Davis Give Day on April 12. To unlock the funding, they need 30 donations of at least $10 before April 12. The funds will be used to build a server lab and cover competition fees, as UC Davis does not have a dedicated cybersecurity major. The message includes donation links and instructions, emphasizing the importance of ensuring donations are designated for the Cyber Security Student Chapter.

An infographic titled “Social Media Security Guide” with a pastel color scheme and pride flags (rainbow and transgender) offers security tips for social media usage. The guide is divided into four sections:
1. Account Security – Recommends enabling Multifactor Authentication (MFA) or 2-Factor Authentication (2FA) to secure accounts, avoiding the use of social media accounts to log into other services, and having separate accounts for personal and professional purposes. Encourages using blocklists to clean social media posts and manage privacy. Includes an illustration of a login screen.
2. Photos/Selfies – Advises asking for consent before taking photos of others, checking for identifiable information in photos (like license plates, mail, keys), and avoiding posting in real-time at events or near home (suggests waiting 30 minutes or using the nearest large city as a location tag). Includes an illustration of a hand holding a smartphone.
3. Messaging – Warns users to be cautious about who they talk to online, as anyone can claim expertise. Emphasizes that social media is not secure for private messaging and recommends using encrypted messaging apps like Signal. Also cautions against bots or accounts requesting money or personal information. Includes an illustration of chat bubbles.
4. More Info – Provides links to external resources such as RAINN and the National Cybersecurity Centre for more information about social media security.

The Sources section credits CISA and the National Cybersecurity Alliance, linking to their resources. The guide was created by Zoe/Echo419 with support from DC916 and includes the social media handle @radicalKjax. There are small decorative icons such as a large information symbol, sparkles, and chat bubbles to emphasize the content.

An infographic titled "Physical Security Guide" has a pastel color scheme and includes transgender and rainbow pride flags. The guide is divided into four sections:

Planning/Prep – Advises creating a threat model for potential risks (e.g., disasters, power outages), tracking valuable assets, and preparing a go-bag with essentials for at least three days. Notes the importance of checking the go-bag a few times a year.
Your Environment – Recommends installing alarms and cameras, using secure padlocks and deadbolts (suggested: Abus 8345 padlock, Schlage Primus deadbolt), and keeping outdoor spaces well-lit. Camera recommendations include HikVision and Reolink.
Backups and Spares – Suggests keeping spares of important medications, backing up critical documents and phone numbers, and maintaining extra chargers, battery banks, water, and food. Encourages following the 3-2-1 rule for digital backups (3 copies, on 2 devices, with 1 off-site). Includes an image of a red panda with a humorous note about proper data backup.
More Info – Provides links to SafeHome and HowStuffWorks for additional security resources.
The sources section credits the creators and links to further reading, including resources from Deviant Ollam, USAA, and Ready.gov. Icons and images such as a checklist, a house, a globe, and an information symbol visually support the text.

An infographic titled "Online Security Guide" features a pastel color scheme and includes transgender and rainbow pride flags. The guide is divided into four sections:

Desktop Security – Recommends using a VPN (suggested: Mullvad), keeping software and OS updated, and using a password manager (suggested: Bitwarden).
Mobile Security – Advises updating apps and OS, using a secure messaging app (suggested: Signal), and enabling multifactor authentication (MFA/2FA). Notes that social media is not a secure messaging app.
Browser Security – Suggests using an ad blocker (suggested: uBlock Origin) and clearing cache/cookies after browsing sessions.
More Info – Provides links to online security resources from EFF and the UK National Cybersecurity Centre.
The infographic includes icons representing each section, such as a computer for desktop security, a phone with encrypted messages for mobile security, a globe for browser security, and an information icon for additional resources.
