Christmas season

ByStefan Karg

Christmas season is here again! Like you, your “favorite” cyber criminals are also waiting to get their presents.

Here are my 3 free security tips for you to spoil their fun this Christmas season:

  1. Make sure you’re shopping at a legitimate shop and not a fake shop.
  2. Pay special attention to phishing mails. They might for example hide as fake parcel tracking messages during this season!
  3. Use your free time during holidays to setup two-factor authentication for your most important accounts. This prevents most phishing attacks successfully.

Have a wonderful time with your beloved ones and stay secure!
