As Euro 2024 draws near, the excitement among football fans is palpable. However, while millions of enthusiasts gear up to enjoy the beautiful game, cybercriminals are also preparing to exploit the fervor. From phishing scams to malware, the digital threats during such high-profile events are real and significant. 

QR codes are everywhere these days. Businesses use them on billboards, posters, and a variety of other places so we can quickly scan them with our phones to pay bills, check-in at airports, access a promotion, view a menu, and do a myriad of other things.

The cyber landscape has recently been marred by a highly sophisticated social engineering scheme aimed squarely at Booking.com’s clientele. This complex operation, which cleverly manipulates hotel access credentials and employs deceptive phishing methods, has cast a spotlight on the pressing issues of cybersecurity vulnerabilities in online environments.

The convenience of online shopping, especially during the holiday season, brings with it the heightened risk of falling prey to sophisticated scams. As we embrace the digital marketplace, it’s crucial to be aware of the various tactics employed by cybercriminals.

As we mark another Internet Safety Month, it’s time to refocus our attention on the digital universe that has become an inseparable part of our lives. Whether you’re a seasoned netizen or a digital novice, maintaining robust internet safety is paramount.
