The Twelve Days of Cyber Plunder

By Phillip Marshall, Director of Product Marketing, Cryptzone

As the holiday season approaches, we caution you to take heed of the cyber perils in this familiar holiday tune.

While we had a little fun with the verse, this cautionary tale unfortunately rings true for many.

On the first day of Christmas the Cyber Grinch sent to me, a holiday invitation phishing to see if I would give him info on me. On the second day of Christmas the Cyber Grinch gave to me, malware on my PC. On the third day of Christmas the Cyber Grinch took from me, my personal passwords and IDs. On the fourth day of Christmas the Cyber Grinch stole from me, a credit card and bought a TV. On the fifth day of Christmas the Cyber Grinch went on a shopping spree, and bought his girlfriend five golden rings – courtesy of me. On the sixth day of Christmas the Cyber Grinch took from me, my company login and ID. On the seventh day of Christmas the Cyber Grinch used my credentials to slink about the network and VLANs to boot, seeking something to loot. On the eighth day of Christmas the Cyber Grinch got even bolder and found a password folder. On the ninth day of Christmas the Cyber Grinch found, to his glee, some really neat company IP. On the tenth day of Christmas the Cyber Grinch did the deed, and exfiltrated all our customer data, in his greed. On the eleventh day of Christmas the Cyber Grinch tripped a false security alert, his detection he managed to avert. c. Someone bought it on the dark web, the guy is now some hacker celeb.
