It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year… for Cybercriminals
Thinking about turkey? Now is the time to protect yourself during the holiday season.

The world is full of cybercriminals who want to steal Christmas — but unlike their counterpart from the classic holiday story, you won’t be able to spot them by their bright green skin and menacing demeanor. These baddies invade inboxes around the holidays, causing spikes in ransomware, credential theft and more.

Unfortunately, the emails they send are masters of disguise, pretending to be everything from iTunes gift cards, to photos, to invitations. Will you be able to spot them when they show up in your inbox? Take our quiz and find out.

How big is your data?

It’s tricky to visualize how much room a digital file takes up. Even though they are intangible, those files still fill up your allotted storage, whether that be your cloud storage, thumb drive, hard drive, SSD…. whatever.

Perhaps it would help to think of data in terms of rice.

1 byte = one grain of rice

1 Kilobyte = 1 cup of rice

1 Megabyte = 8 bags of rice

1 Gigabyte = 3 container trucks [see picture below]

1 Terabyte = 2 container ships [see picture below]

1 Petabyte = covers Manhattan

1 Exabyte = covers the UK three times over

1 Zettabyte = fills the Pacific Ocean
