Malware doesn’t show up to the party undisguised. It shows up in a mask labeled “Productivity Tool.” 🎭 In the spirit of spooky season, here’s your reminder: Not every app on your network is what it claims to be. 🛡️ During Cybersecurity Awareness Month, take time to audit your software stack. If you haven’t verified it, scanned it, or sourced it securely—don’t trust it. Because in cybersecurity, the real threat isn’t the obvious villain… It’s the one pretending to be helpful.

Day 30 | Cybersecurity Awareness Month Not every email deserves your click. Some links or attachments can look completely normal but hide dangerous surprises like malware or phishing traps. Before opening anything, pause and ask: Do I know this sender? Does this message look legit? If something feels off, trust your gut and don’t click. And remember — you’re not alone. If you spot something suspicious, report it immediately to your IT or security team. Staying alert and careful online protects not just you, but everyone on your network.
