Chocolate and cyber security...

In this issue...

Easter’s coming up - the religious festival taken over by the Easter Bunny, Eggs and Chocolate!  And somehow we’ve found a link with cyber security.
And, we highlight "Stop! Think Fraud"  - the latest campaign launched in the UK, plus some cyber resources that can help you.

 
What do chocolate and cyber security have in common?

As you’re getting ready to enjoy all your Easter treats, have you ever wondered why chocolate makes us feel good? Apart from the great taste?
The make-up of chocolate has a chemical effect which cyber criminals also seek to exploit.  How does that work?  
Let’s dig into a bit of neuroscience:  read our latest blog all about this subject, and keep your brain’s reward centre focused on chocolate rather than clicks.

‘Fraudsters aren’t fussy’, says latest cyber campaign

If you’re in the UK you may have seen adverts online or on TV for the ‘Stop! Think Fraud’ campaign, launched recently by the UK government. The campaign focuses on the various way that cyber criminals manipulate you to access your data or jump onto your devices.
