The Rise of Targeted Cyber Attacks on Families

In today's interconnected world, everyone is a potential target, but those with higher stakes can often become the primary focus of cyber adversaries.Before we dive in, here's a sobering statistic. In a recent study, over 60% of high-level executives reported that they or their organizations had been the victims of a cyber-attack or data breach. But more alarmingly, a significant portion admitted that their families were also targeted in some form. Today we'll explore why and how.The classic technique we've all heard about: Phishing. But now, attackers have a more sinister version tailored for their high-profile targets: Spear Phishing. Instead of casting a wide net, they're targeting their 'spear' with pinpoint precision.

Cybersecurity while traveling

Cybersecurity while traveling

"So, why is cybersecurity especially important when we're traveling? Well, when we're on vacation, we often use public Wi-Fi networks, charge our devices in public places, and may even lose or misplace our devices in unfamiliar environments. All of these situations can expose us to potential cyber threats. But don't worry - with a little preparation and awareness, you can significantly reduce your risk." “As a traveler your phone is your connection to your world. Make sure you protect it. It may be a good idea to have a case with a wrist strap. Many of us will use Uber, Lift or taxis for transportation. Leaving your smartphone in a taxi or Uber is a nightmare, so make sure you check for it when you disembark. It’s almost as important as your passport as it may have your airline ticketing information, hotel information and your contact details. It’s also a good idea to have paper documents as well as your electronic documents just in case, especially if you’re traveling alone.”Flagship Production of I'm Not Crazy Productions, LLC.
