@cyberhoot.bsky.socialDay 14 of 31: Pressure tactics. Scams change their story every month. The pressure underneath stays the same. One lever is enough to slow down.

@cyberhoot.bsky.socialDay 12 of 31: QR code stickers. A QR code is a link you can't read. Treat it like one.

@vste.orgš£ Don't Take the Bait! It's #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth, and we're kicking off the week with a reminder: Not every message is what it seems! Phishing occurs when cybercriminals disguise messages. Before you click, pause and verify! #DontTakeTheBait #VSTE #SecureOurWorld
@cyberhoot.bsky.socialDay 11 of 31: Invoice fraud. The attacker often reads the real thread first, then replies at the right moment. Your callback rule is what stops it.

@cyberhoot.bsky.socialDay 10 of 31: Voice clones and safe words. Five minutes at dinner this weekend: agree on a family safe word. It works no matter how good the fake voice gets.

@cyberhoot.bsky.socialDay 9 of 31: MFA push bombing. MFA did its job here: it stopped a stolen password. Don't undo that with one sleepy tap.

@cyberhoot.bsky.socialDay 8 of 31: Toll scam texts. Unpaid-toll and missed-package texts are the most common scam texts right now. The amount is small on purpose.

@cyberhoot.bsky.socialDay 7 of 31: Lookalike domains. Attackers buy domains that look right at a glance. Reading from the right takes two seconds and beats every one of these.

@cyberhoot.bsky.socialDay 6 of 31: Clicked a phishing link. Everyone clicks eventually. The people who report it in five minutes make the incident small.

@cyberhoot.bsky.socialDay 5 of 31: Anatomy of a phish. Phishing emails are built from the same few parts. Learn the five and you'll spot most of them.

@cyberhoot.bsky.socialDay 4 of 31: MFA strength. Turn on whatever MFA your account offers today. Move up the stairs to a passkey when the site supports it.

@cyberhoot.bsky.socialDay 3 of 31: Password reuse. Weekend project: open your password manager's security report and change every password it flags as reused.

@cyberhoot.bsky.socialDay 2 of 31: Passphrase strength.
Length beats complexity. Let a password manager or dice pick the words; words you choose yourself aren't random.
