🔥 Top Story: Holiday Season = Peak Cybercrime

Cyberattacks rise more than 35% between Thanksgiving and New Year’s.
Why?

  • Staff is distracted or short-handed
  • Hackers take advantage of travel & reduced monitoring
  • Phishing increases around holiday deliveries, invoices, and fake promotions

Spark Technologies is actively monitoring all client environments 24/7 — but here are three quick things your team should be doing:

✔ Be suspicious of ANY delivery, invoice, or password-change email
✔ Don’t approve MFA requests you didn’t initiate
✔ Report anything strange to our Help Desk immediately

If you’d like us to run a Holiday Phishing Prevention Training, reply to this email and we’ll set it up.
