The end of the year is just around the corner. Our diaries are filling up fast and our to-do lists are getting longer. With so many demands on our time, we tend to become less vigilant. But we can't let our guard down, because the festive season is also a time for cyber attacks.
Increased caution
That's right. Hackers aren't taking a break and are strategically planning attacks against individuals and businesses alike. It's not about being paranoid, it's about being extra vigilant and learning how to spot the dangers so that we can enjoy the festive season in peace.
Remember that this busy period also brings a surge in online activity: between promotions, online shopping and increased connectivity, cyber risks are everywhere.
Can you identify the clues?
What are the risks in practice? Our email inboxes are constantly filled with suspicious greeting cards, bogus competitions or information about the delivery of parcels we haven't ordered.
These messages are designed to trick us into revealing sensitive information or downloading infected attachments. With the development of artificial intelligence, these emails are becoming more sophisticated.
However, there are clues that can help you identify them. Do you know what they are?
