Why do people ignore cybersecurity until it’s too late?

In this episode of Darnley’s Cyber Café, we dive into the psychology behind cyber neglect, the illusion of “it won’t happen to me,” and why privacy still matters in a world where everything feels exposed. Using real data and relatable examples (including one about bathroom stalls…), we break down why cyber awareness is more urgent than ever, and how the small habits protect you more than you think.

Grab your drink, settle into the café, and tune in to learn why knowledge really is power.
