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.
