📊 𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐥 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐬 𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐈𝐧 Last week, we asked: How do you really treat your company’s cybersecurity awareness training? 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞’𝐬 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐝: ✅ Actually pay attention: 69% ⚡ Click through ASAP: 17% 🤖 Run it on autopilot: 6% 🚫 No training in my org: 7% It’s encouraging to see that 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐲𝐞𝐞𝐬 𝐝𝐨 𝐩𝐚𝐲 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 to cybersecurity training. But the 17% 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐤 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐥𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 6% 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐥𝐨𝐭 highlight a gap: training is only as strong as engagement. And 𝐭𝐡𝐞 7% 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐧𝐨 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐥? That’s a serious risk. Many real-world breaches still start with phishing emails or simple social engineering. A single click can compromise an entire organization. 💡 𝐓𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲: Cybersecurity awareness is not a one-time module. It should be engaging, relevant, and continuous to truly reduce human-factor risks. 👉 How does your company keep security training effective, not just a box-checking exercise? #CyberSecurity #AwarenessTraining #InfoSec #HumanFirewall #CyberAwareness #PhishingPrevention #HackerCombat

🚨 Phishing Alert! Banks often warn us about suspicious emails, but let’s be honest, we all get them. 😅 What would you do if you received an email that looks like it’s from your bank asking you to verify your account? #CyberSecurity #Phishing #BankingSecurity #InfoSec #DataProtection #OnlineSafety #DigitalSecurity #HackerCombat #CyberAwareness #ITSecurity

🔍 𝐂𝐲𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐀𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐀𝐫𝐞𝐧’𝐭 𝐎𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐀𝐧𝐲𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 Recently, a U.S. DoD contractor was fined $11.25 million for falsely certifying their cybersecurity practices. The audit revealed they skipped crucial vulnerability scans, ignored audit warnings, and failed to maintain basic security hygiene. That case shows what happens when organizations treat audits like paperwork instead of protection. 𝐀𝐧 𝐞𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐜𝐲𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐚𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐭 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝: ~ Verify that controls are actually working ~ Check for vulnerabilities before bad actors exploit them ~ Include third-party and supply chain assessments ~ Ensure timely remediation of issues Audit failure can cost more than fines. Damage to reputation, lost business, legal exposure, and breach remediation all rack up quickly. 𝐀𝐬𝐤 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟: Is your latest audit more than just check-boxes? #CyberSecurity #SecurityAudit #RiskManagement #Compliance #CyberAwareness #InfoSec #BreachPrevention #HackerCombat

🎣 𝐏𝐡𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐀𝐭𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐀𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐭 Hackers use lookalike domains to trick users into clicking fake links. Sometimes a single letter is swapped with a similar-looking character from another alphabet, almost impossible to spot at first glance. These phishing sites are designed to steal logins, banking details, and sensitive information. 👉 How to protect yourself: ~ Double-check URLs before clicking ~ Don’t log in through links in emails or texts ~ Bookmark official websites for safe access Phishing attacks succeed because the differences are tiny but dangerous. Stay alert before you click. #CyberSecurity #Phishing #CyberCrime #OnlineScams #CyberAwareness #DataProtection #InfoSec #StaySafeOnline #HackerCombat

𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐥 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐬 𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐈𝐧! We asked: How do you really handle public Wi-Fi? Results from the voters: 🔓 Connect without thinking: 7% 🛡️ Use VPN every time: 42% ⏱️ Just for a quick check: 9% 🚫 Avoid it completely: 42% 👉 Takeaway: Most people either protect themselves with a VPN or stay away from public Wi-Fi. Still, nearly 1 in 5 connect without much caution. Public Wi-Fi is convenient, but it is also one of the easiest ways for attackers to snoop on data. If avoiding it is not realistic, a VPN is the safest option. Would you still trust public Wi-Fi today? #CyberSecurity #PublicWiFi #DataProtection #CyberAwareness #HackerCombat

🚨 𝐂𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐝𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐧𝐩𝐦 𝐏𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐬 𝐇𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐝 Hackers broke into CrowdStrike’s npm account and uploaded fake software packages. These malicious versions were designed to steal sensitive information (like passwords and tokens) and even sneak in extra permissions through GitHub. Some of the affected packages include @crowdstrike/commitlint, @crowdstrike/glide-core, and @crowdstrike/logscale-dashboard. The bad versions have now been taken down. 👉 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐬: • If you or your team used these packages, check your systems immediately. • Change any passwords, tokens, or keys that may have been exposed. • Keep an eye out for suspicious activity in your projects. Supply chain attacks like this remind us that even trusted sources can be compromised. Stay alert. #CyberSecurity #CrowdStrike #SupplyChainAttack #HackerCombat
