Cyber attacks can postpone life saving procedures, clinics can be shut down for days preventing patient care, and ambulances can be diverted to emergency departments that are out of the way.

5 steps to prevent Holiday Hacking
5 steps to prevent Holiday Hacking
Ready Your Incident Response Plan
Make sure your company has enough security personnel available on call throughout the Thanksgiving holiday. This should include personnel who are essential for any potential emergency situation, such as a ransomware attack
Use Generic Out-Of-Office Responses
For all external contacts, use a standardized auto-reply message when responding via email, messaging, or telephone.
Password Management And Multi-Factor Authentication
Make sure to use robust passwords and never share them with anyone, including your workmates or other accounts. Try not to reuse previous passwords.
Slow And Steady Wins The Cybersecurity Day
Don't let yourself be rushed into clicking a link, opening an attachment, or giving away confidential information just because you are in a hurry. Pay attention and take your time.
Validate, Validate, Validate
Never provide sensitive information such as a bank PIN, password or authentication code in response to emails, direct messages, or phone calls. Confirm the validity of the sender by using contact details that you already know, even if all seems legitimate.
