Cybercrime doesn’t take holidays off.

December is one of the busiest months for hackers. In this festive special of Darnley’s Cyber Café, we dig into why cyberattacks surge during the holidays, how scammers exploit online shopping hype, and why distracted employees and understaffed IT teams make the perfect storm for breaches.

We also unpack the psychology behind seasonal scams, the rise of phishing disguised as holiday deals, and how cybercriminals weaponize urgency and emotion when everyone’s guard is down.

Pour yourself something warm, settle in, and let’s make sure your holidays stay merry and not malware-y.
