Security News > 2020 > October > #BeCyberSmart – why friends don’t let friends get scammed

Starting in about 2000 or 2001, cybercrooks figured out not only how to spread mayhem with malware, but also how to make money illegally, too.

Simply put: a cybersecurity injury to you can quickly turn into a cybersecurity injury to everyone else.

Well, one way is to support Cybersecurity Awareness Month, or CSAM for short, in your part of the world.

Cybersecurity matters because there is a whole underweb of cybercriminals waiting to take money out of our economy if we give them half a chance.

Your attitude can help them improve their cybersecurity too, so our motto for CSAM 2020 is this: FRIENDS DON'T LET FRIENDS GET SCAMMED. Or, in the words chosen for this year's CSAM in the US, Do your part.
