Christmas is approaching and while most of us are looking forward to some relaxing time off, IT fraudsters are preparing for what is perhaps the busiest time of the year. If there’s anyone who doesn’t take a break during Christmas, it’s IT fraudsters. The number of phishing e-mails increases during the holiday period, and a full three out of four cyberattacks happen outside of office hours.
Everyone has been talking about AI during the spring and AI is creating many new opportunities. Opportunities that IT fraudsters are sure to also take advantage of. The risk of IT fraud also generally increases during holiday periods. However, it is possible to reduce the risk of attacks and Dennie Karlsson, CISO of Dustin, offers suggestions for what you can do to avoid cyber attacks.
Three of four cyber attacks occur when people are out of the office. The Christmas period is no exception. According to Dennie Karlsson, Group CISO at Dustin, Christmas is a perfect time of year for phishing attempts. He describes what you should think about to prevent cyber attacks during the festive season.
