1๏ธโฃ Phishing: Don't get hooked! Stay alert for deceptive emails, texts, or calls trying to steal your personal info. Verify senders, avoid suspicious links, and double-check website URLs before sharing sensitive data.
2๏ธโฃ Pretexting: Don't be fooled by imposters! Stay cautious when revealing personal details, especially over the phone. Always confirm the identity of the person or organization before sharing confidential information.
3๏ธโฃ Baiting: Don't take the bait! Be cautious of free downloads or USB giveaways, as they may carry malicious software. Stick to trusted sources, update your operating system and antivirus software, and avoid plugging in untrusted USB drives.

๐ Cybersecurity Fails: Don't Fall for This Rookie Mistake! ๐
Though we might believe our systems are secure, a simple post-it note with login credentials can sometimes become a bad actor's golden ticket. ๐
Let's face it: Cybersecurity isn't solely about complex algorithms and firewalls; it also involves employee awareness and best practices. Part of this awareness pertains to security within physical facilities.
Leaving passwords on post-it notes pinned to a board or hidden beneath your keyboard is an open invitation for a hacker to access your data freely. ๐ช๐ป
