Don’t be fooled! Some want you to believe october is Cybersecurity Awareness Month.

Once again, October is being celebrated as ‘Cybersecurity Awareness Month’, with various campaigns aiming to remind individuals, businesses, and organizations to take proactive steps to protect themselves from cyber threats. But we at Phished are not convinced.


Because one reminder in October doesn’t cut it. Granted, it’s a start, but cybersecurity is something you need to stay mindful of all year round. Just take a look at the figures below:

  • 71% of adults still reuse passwords across accounts.
  • 60% of small businesses that get hit by a cyberattack close their doors within six months.
  • A cyberattack happens every 39 seconds.

Cybersecurity is something you carry with you every day of every month – not just in October.
