Don’t Let Hackers Crash Your Holiday: Staying Secure Over the Long Weekend

Don’t Let Hackers Crash Your Holiday: Staying Secure Over the Long Weekend

Holidays are prime time for phishing, breaches, and scams designed to catch your business off guard while your team is OOO.

As you prep for a well-deserved break this Memorial Day—maybe some sun, a BBQ, and time with family—cybercriminals are prepping, too. Holidays are prime time for phishing, breaches, and scams designed to catch your business off guard while your team is OOO.


Why Holidays Are High Risk

Long weekends create gaps in your usual defenses. Fewer eyes on email, slower response times, and lighter staffing can make even well-protected companies vulnerable. Scammers know this—and they act fast.

This time of year, it’s common to see phishing emails leveraging Memorial Day themes: fake donation campaigns for veterans or service dogs, emotional pleas, or spoofed offers from patriotic brands. One click from an employee, and your systems could be compromised before anyone notices.
