Why most clicking mistakes happen after returning from holidays

When employees return from a break, they’re often still in holiday mode. This is precisely when cybercriminals often strike, preying on full inboxes, a lack of routine, and low attention spans. They know this is a prime opportunity, leading to a surge in harmful emails.

This vulnerability is further intensified by the fact that many companies, including IT departments, operate with reduced staff numbers during the holiday seasons and bank holidays.

Ultimately, holidays provide the ideal stage for online fraud. When we relax, attackers become more active, exploiting less control and increased vulnerability.
