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.

## **What You Can Expect From the Series**

Over the next 12 days you’ll receive:

- Short, punchy, easy-to-digest posts
- Real threats impacting Australian businesses
- Eye-opening examples of phishing tactics
- Practical “keep yourself safe” checklists
- End-of-year cybersecurity advice
- A final downloadable resource pack

Whether you’re a business owner, a team manager, or simply want to stay safe online — this series is for you.

 

## **Why We’re Doing This**

Because cybercriminals don’t take holidays.  
And because *Simple. Secure. Human.* is more than a tagline for us — it’s how we protect the North.

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

## **Watch for Day 1 — Coming Today**

We’ll kick off with the most common red flags to look for in any suspicious email.

Follow our page to make sure you don’t miss a day.  
And share the series with your team — awareness is protection.
