Happy Friday. My how 2022 seems to have flown by, hasn't it?
Please know that I appreciate you taking the time to read my emails and share my desire to help keep the community safe from cybercrime.
I have a fun, short poem for you below, Twas the Scam Before Christmas - I hope you enjoy it and maybe even share it with family during the holiday festivities this weekend.
Merry Christmas!
Twas the night before Christmas and all through the net
Scammers were phishing to see what they get
The emails were sent to folks everywhere
In hopes to find clickers, who click without care
The traps were all set with offers galore
For discounts, or cruises, or gift cards, and more
Some even threaten to pause your account
If you don't click and pay some amount
But luckily we are much smarter than they
We've studied and trained in a practical way
We see the signs of a suspected attack
And thwart their attempt with a pat on the back
We check that the mail is from a known sender
And verify links to sites from each vendor
We never fall for requests for quick cash
And links to change passwords we put in the trash
In the event, we're not sure if it's real
We call the Help Desk to see what they feel
They put the offender's name on a wall
just kidding, they don't do that at all ;)
The point is, be careful, and protect all our files
So the users keep happy and management smiles
We know it is hard, but keep up the fight
and Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
Stay safe out there.
