Security News > 2021 > November > Black Friday and Cyber Monday – here’s what you REALLY need to do!
As we've explained before, the opposite of Black Friday wouldn't be White Friday, it would be Red Friday.
Now we've adopted it, and because there's no need to pin it to a Friday I got my first Black Friday special deal on the 1st of November!
The point is that whatever you do on Black Friday to improve your security because Black Friday fears have motivated you, *make sure you keep on doing it for the rest of the year*.
So you'll see a million tips out there, special things for Black Friday - we'll talk about some of them - but the key thing is that if it takes Black Friday fears to make you improve your cybersecurity game, don't fall back into bad habits afterwards.
PD. That's a good question, because a lot of people who aren't from the US wonder, "What does Black Friday mean? Is this black and white as in contrast, as in a situation being cast into black and white"? Is it a racial thing? What's it all about?
For most people - although, as I said at the beginning, Tip Number Zero is "Make sure you that whatever you do on Black Friday, you keep doing it" - there are some additional risks that happen on Black Friday.
