The Real Cost of Ignoring That Security Update | National PC
The holiday season is meant to be a break… but for cybercriminals, it’s the busiest time of year.
People are distracted.
Businesses wind down.
Inboxes fill up.
And attackers know it.
That’s why December is one of the highest-risk periods for phishing, email scams, ransomware, and impersonation attacks.
So this year, we’re doing something special to help protect North Queensland businesses.
Welcome to the 12 Days of Phishmas.
Each day, we’ll reveal a new cyber threat you need to know about — explained in a simple, human way — along with practical steps to keep your people safe.

-
Short, punchy, easy-to-digest posts
-
Real threats impacting Australian businesses

Why We’re Doing This
Because cybercriminals don’t take holidays.

Our goal?
💡 To make cybersecurity awareness accessible, non-technical, and actually enjoyable.
