You’ve Been Fooled! But This Is a Lesson in Cybersecurity

Did you know that April 1st marks International Cyberdeception Day?

Got excited about winning a Flipper Zero? You’re not alone! But here’s the catch—it was all part of April Fools’ Day and International Cyber Deception Day!

While this was a harmless prank, it highlights a real cybersecurity risk: phishing attacks. Cybercriminals often use fake giveaways, urgent messages, or enticing offers to trick people into clicking malicious links, sharing personal information, or even compromising company data.

What can you learn from this?

• Always double-check URLs before clicking—look for small misspellings or suspicious domains.
• Be cautious of offers that seem too good to be true—they often are!
• Never provide personal or login details unless you’re 100% sure of the source.
• Stay vigilant and train yourself to recognize cyber threats.
