August rolls around, and while you’re thinking about school supplies or a weekend at the lake, hackers are working overtime.
This is prime time for phishing attacks. Travel scams. Fake hotel bookings. Back-to-school emails that aren’t what they seem. And your crew, just back from vacation or juggling family stuff, is more likely to click the wrong thing.
Even worse? AI’s making it easier for the bad guys. Scam emails look cleaner now. Fewer typos. Better formatting. They blend in.
How do you fight back? Keep it simple:
- Check who sent the email. And hover over links before clicking.
- Don’t trust links. If in doubt, search for the website yourself.
- MFA everything. It won’t stop every threat, but it’s a solid last line of defense.
- Public WiFi? Be careful. Use a VPN if you have to check something sensitive.
- Keep personal stuff off work gear. Mixing them is asking for trouble.
- Use EDR. It’s like having a digital watchdog.
